It is not open to the public and operates strictly as a private members\u2019 club. According to reports, initial registration fees start at around \u00a3125,000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Even Spider-Man cannot just walk on and tee off, guests must be invited by one of the club\u2019s relatively few members, most of whom are not based in the UK.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The club\u2019s website describes it as a \u201csanctuary\u201d, and it has become a quiet haven for those who gain access.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Holland had the chance to play a round at the scenic 18 back in 2019. Posting a shot of him smashing the ball of the tee on Instagram, he said: &#8220;Nothing but big shots at Loch Lomond golf club today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;Possibly the best course I\u2019ve ever played.
