Cathkin Braes Golf Club, founded in 1888, is the second oldest golf club in the Clyde Valley, and is the oldest that is still on its original site. It is essentially a Moorland Course but over the years many trees have been planted. Despite the name ("Braes" means "Hills" in Scotland), it is relatively flat.
The Course sits more than 650 feet above Glasgow, which results in some stunning views over Glasgow to the Campsie Hills and the Southern Scottish Highlands and out to the isle of Arran off the west coast of Scotland. Although it is only 5 miles from the centre of Glasgow it is in the middle of the countryside, and is widely regarded as one of the best inland courses in the West of Scotland.
The 6209 yards, Par 71, Course is a private one, owned by the Members, but welcomes visitors by prior arrangement. It is located in the centre of a triangle formed by Rutherglen, East Kilbride, and the village of Carmunnock, on the southeast of Glasgow.

Farewell to Iain Deacon (Added 6th March)
After 7 years of sterling service to the Club, Iain Deacon, the popular Assistant Professional in our shop, is leaving us on 15th March to take up a new opportunity and a new challenge in America. Iain became a fully qualified European PGA professional in November 2007, and is now taking responsibility for a golf Course and Driving Range in New Jersey. I am sure that I speak for all of us when I say that we will be sad to see Iain go.
To show our appreciation and to show our thanks to Iain, a little farewell event will take place at the Club next Saturday, 13th March, at 4 pm. There will be a presentation to Iain followed by some drinks and nibbles. I hope that you will be able to come along to bid Iain a fond farewell.
