What the club says: The Club is located in the town centre itself and the clubhouse is a five minute walk from the railway station which has a direct link to Edinburgh and Glasgow Queen Street via Airdrie.
The course provides an excellent test of golf, evidenced by the quality of players it has produced. The Club are delighted to have produced two Ryder Cup Captains in Eric Brown and Bernard Gallacher. Eric captained the side in 1969 and 1971 and Bernard of course in 1991, 1993 and 1995.

Good facilities including easily accessible practice areas. Friendly feel. First 2 holes open, enabling settling in of swing for rest of course. Holes 3-7 lovely with great views of area. Central 'hub' of 8, 11 and 17 'busy' and a bit claustrophobic. 10th is blind and off-putting for first time player as sighting peg is practically in front of tee. 12th the least favourite as very tunnelled. 15 and 16 good birdie opportunities.
17th a really challenging par 3 with added challenge of lots of holes around it.
Had a fantastic day's golf here in the sunshine shooting an 82 off yellows (5,900 yds or so).

Relatively flat parkland course with run down look. However provision of 2 practice greens and practice area along with a friendly family feel makes this a good club to work on your golf game. The hilly section of holes 3-6 provides a short scenic break near the start of an otherwise bland venue.
