Mearns Castle Golf Academy

I’m partially disabled and I recently had 9 holes with the use of the paragolfer chair. We had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and without the chair I simply couldn’t play golf. Big thanks to the very helpful staff.

I go here regularly as part of the Golf in Society charity which supports people with dementia, physical disabilities etc to access golf. The new electric front doors are great and I can enter without assistance now. I suggest you check the toiiet if you use a wheelchair though. The disabled toilet , although perfect for the ambulent disabled, is only just wide enough for a wheelchair to go straight in, then exit backwards. If using a wheelchair, you will need someone outside to help you shut toilet door behind you, then open it. There are some steps in some areas eg to access the covered Golf range. Golf Academy Staff are very approachable and helpful.

What a great facility. Everything seemed to be level access with plenty of car parking space although not too many accessible parking spaces. The lounge/cafe area is totally accessible. There is also a good sized accessible toilet. Open to members and non members alike, People with disabilities can hire one of the amazing paragolfer off road wheelchairs to allow them to be able to play golf.
