LOCH LOMOND, Scotland — During my first night at the De Vere's Cameron House Hotel, a beautiful five-star retreat on the shores of Loch Lomond, north of Glasgow, I was confused.
Why, I wondered, would such a quaint little resort this fabulous feel the need to improve or expand? If it ain't broke …
The following afternoon I got a sneak preview of the hotel's new Carrick golf course up the road and the surrounding development that will surely put the Cameron House among the best of Scotland's modern wave resorts.
I was singing a whole new tune, along the lines of: "I think it's a wonderful idea the Cameron House Hotel is expanding to include championship golf."
Sans golf, the Cameron House Hotel is just fine. Well, better than fine: It's enchanting. It also has a tight little nine-holer called the "Wee Demon," which winds through the property's time share condos tucked in heavy woods.
Cute, sure, but not the kind of golf course you set your travel plans around. A cozy, bona fide retreat, this wasn't the kind of place designed to hook in golfers, although there are a handful of Scotland's finest in the area, including Loch Lomond Golf Club, Western Gailes and Gleneagles golf course.
But the Cameron House will soon be a major player on the Scotland golf resort map, thanks to the new new Carrick course and surrouning development, both set to open this spring. Both are located just a couple miles up the road (or quick scoot on a motorboat across the Loch, depending on your mode of transport.
"We've always had good resort golf with the nine-hole course we have on site with the Wee Demon," Golf and Estates Manager Alec Glachan said. "But now we'll have more serious golf at the Carrick, so we'll be able to cater to all aspects of golfing needs. The Carrick will be one of the top courses in the area."
