What the club says: Founded in 1906 originally as a 9 hole course, Cowglen 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 between Pollokshaws Toll and Silverburn Shopping Centre, the clubhouse offers bar and catering facilities to a high standard. The club enjoys good views over the Clyde Valley and the Campsie Hills.

Good layout
The course is a really interesting layout, with views from certain tees being very good. Although not a long course, it has protection with any wayward tee shots being punished with trees and semi-rough. The fairways had a good layer of grass, the greens had recently been slit which meant they were bumpy, however they were still fairy fast. The prevailing wind makes certain holes tough. The members were all very friendly.Reviewer Rating

I'm a member at this course. Had to remind myself it was February, fairways dry (mats in use), all 18 greens were on, dry and fast. Like a summers day. Clubhouse just refurbished and looking very smart. Brand new covered driving range, also short game area in addition to full size practice green.
