Greenock Golf Club, Strathclyde in Scotland

The Greenock Golf Club was founded in 1890 and is located in a commanding
position high above the town. In 1924 that busiest of all golf course
architects, former Open Champion James Braid was invited to advise on
reconstruction. Leased farmlands were duly purchased and an eighteen and
a nine hole course were built, being completed in 1927.
The course is moorland with trees defining many of the fairways and it
is no exaggeration to say that the views over the Clyde estuary to the
Argyll Hills beyond are simply spectacular. The club has played host to
several professional and amateur district championships over the years,
while some of the worthiest exponents of the game have graced its fairways:
J. H. Taylor, Harry Vardon, Roberto de Vicenzo and Sam Torrance (to name
but a few) have all exhibited their skills to the members.
