Cowglen Golf Club in GLASGOW, Scottish Lowlands, United Kingdom | GOLF

Founded in 1906 originally as a 9 hole course, Cowglen Golf Club in GLASGOW, Scotland in the United Kingdom, is a challenging parkland course with many holes requiring an accurate tee shot to allow the correct approach to its well guarded greens. The course was re-constructed in 1923 under the guidelines of James Braid to 18 holes.
Located on the Barrhead Road the clubhouse at Cowglen Golf Club offers bar and catering facilities to a high standard. The club as a whole enjoys fabulous views.
Cowglen Golf Club was formed on 26 January 1906 and within 3 months a 9 hole Course was laid out and ready for play on 12 May 1906. In less than 12 months it had been extended to 18 holes and was open for play on 12 May 1907.
The Course remained in this layout until 1923 when following a report by the late James Braid a reconstruction of the Course took place and the extended Course was opened with an exhibition game involving the big four at that time, Braid, Vardon, Duncan and Mitchell, who returned a score of 71.

As modern technology has improved so has the condition of the Course whose greens have an enviable reputation in the West of Scotland.
