Cowal Golf Club, Strathclyde in Scotland

Founded in 1891, Cowal Golf Club overlooks the Firth of Clyde, one of
Scotland's most beautiful estuaries, and the seaside town of Dunoon. The
course was re-designed in 1934 by the legendary James Braid and his legacy
to Cowal is a superb 18 hole course that skilfully exploits the wide variety
of natural and typically Scottish features, to produce as enjoyable a
test of golf as could be found anywhere. After an opening climb up the
hill, the short 5th requires a well-struck shot to find the green. Anything
short will run away from the elevated green which is encircled by trees.
There are some fantastic holes on the course, including the 12th with
its splendid downhill drive. The professional at the course is Russell
Weir, who holds the course record with a 63.
