The town of Fort William is full of character and the atmosphere is pleasant, it is on one main stretch and there are little roads and paths leading off it too. The town is attractive, clean, well maintained, friendly and just a nice size to browse. There are some places to sit. There are a good few shops to look around including groceries, clothing shops (lots of mountain wear, hiking, walking, rainproof jackets etc) gift shops, bars and a great selection of places to eat. We stayed for a week in Fort William and the restaraunts where all wonderful, the food was of a high standard and the welcome from the staff was superb. Really friendly people. If you go down to the water front you can have a very pleasant stroll and the views are awesome. Peaceful and relaxing.....bliss. If you are very lucky you may spot the odd seal. Fort William is in a great location to access the surrounding area which includes the awesome Ben Nevis range...you can go up via cable car to part of the range.....views are out of this worldincredible. Also there is the famous Loch Ness not too far away. A car is an advantage to get around this beautiful area. This has to be one of my favourite places to be and I Highly Recommend it.

There is of course Ben Nevis, which has many climbing trails and a gondola cable-car. There are many local shops which sell tourist good and cute keep-sakes, as well as this there is a shopping centre which features some high-street stores.

The quality of the course can vary but it is fairly satisfactory at this present day. One of the only downsides is the locker room because things have moved on since the 1970's so the golf club would look so much better if it was improved like the bar. The vast majority of members here are all really cheery (hopefully that will continue) and the boys in the pro shop are extremely well natured giving top quality lessons. A perfect club for beginner golfers or professional golfers with a fantastic course home to breathtaking views of the Clyde, Loch Lomond and Glen Fruin.

The last place I would have expected to find a golf course was inside a public park, but that's…read moreexactly what I found on a walk through Alexandra Park! I'm not a huge fan of golf (since I suck!) but my boyfriend & his brother have been teaching me the basics on this course, plus I really like how they have shaped the course around the park as it fits in perfectly with all the walk ways and other scenery. The course starts just behind the bowling green's towards the back of the park and inside the bowling green area is the building where the admission for the course is "paid" (although from what I've seen very few people actually pay to play here). The course has 9 holes, most of which are a par 3, with three par 4's. I'd say the course is well suited to beginners and moderate players, you're certainly not going to see a Tiger Woods level player teeing off here! I would say that the course is also kept in pretty good condition as The fairways & greens are very good but the tee off areas could be doing with some maintenance. I think this is a pretty good course in general with some good challenges for those just starting out like myself. A few negatives to point out would be that, because the course is in a public park, there is very little security so it can be a common occurrence finding yourself trying to avoid beer bottles or cans with your feet as you're taking certain shots. Also, don't be surprised if some holes are missing the flag as some goofballs seem to think it's cool to take these which can cause some confusion aiming shots blindly at the green! The final thing I would say that is super frustrating is that because the course is very spread out, you can often find people randomly jumping onto the course & beginning their round from random holes.....very annoying when they decide to jump on at the hole in front of the one you are currently on holding up your round!! All in all I think the course is pretty good in spite of those negatives. It's very ideally located, well maintained and a good course for people of average skill level, which I'd imagine most of the people who play here are at!

As a twenty something year old woman, I take great issue with being instructed to carry my drinks from the bar to the table on a tray, particularly when the table is only a foot away and all I bought was a glass of water. I feel particularly daft doing this while wearing plaid trousers and a brown cord flat cap being forced to adhere to the club's strict dress code. However, I do like Ralston Golf Club. I have attended a few functions here over the years and it is nicer than your average place to tee, or whatever it is golfers do. The club is framed by huge windows which is particularly pleasant when the light streams in on a sunny day. There is also a courtyard when the weather is nice enough to sit outside. Drinks at the bar are also very cheap which is always a point scorer in my book.
