East Renfrewshire Golf Club, Strathclyde in Scotland
The East Renfrewshire Golf Club, founded in 1922, is a moorland coursedesigned by the great former Open Champion James Braid, who also designed
the King's and Queen's courses at Gleneagles Hotel, Perthshire. At 6,097
yards, par 70, the course may sound short, but this is deceptive, as the
undulating fairways and elevated greens always demand at least one extra
club.
The course is widely regarded as one of the most attractive in the West
of Scotland, with spectacular views to Ben Lomond and beyond on a fine
day. The Pilmuir Loch is a central feature of East Renfrewshire. Most
fairways are now lined with mature spruce trees, adding further to the
appearance and challenge of the course.
A major clubhouse renovation was carried out during the year 2000, including
a dedicated new locker room for visiting parties, and greatly enlarged
lounge, where visitors can expect a warm welcome with excellent catering.
