Bishopbriggs Golf Club Glasgow

About Bishopbriggs Golf Club: In 1906 a group of golf enthusiasts consisting of mainly railway workers on the Northside of Glasgow leased 54 Hectares of land in the Kenmure area of Bishopbriggs, a large part of which is adjacent to the Forth & Clyde Canal.
They commissioned the renowned golf course architect James Braid in October of that year to design a number of the 9 holes of a parkland course to be built and the golf course was opened in 1907. (Extended to 18 holes in 1911).
However the prudent men of the town and with typical Scottish reserve, built the Clubhouse in the style of a family home. Just in case the golf course was not successful they could then recoup their investment by selling the "house" or even make a tidy profit.

Surrounding area: When you visit Glasgow or the West of Scotland do not miss the opportunity to play a round at Bishopbriggs Golf Club situated just north of Glasgow. The tree lined scenic parkland course at 6041 yards may sound short but do not be fooled by this as the course plays far longer.

Additional notes: Dress Rules are informal but no denims or trainers are allowed and shirts must have a collar.
