Course Description
Carnwath Golf Club is a delightful, mature course having been founded in 1907. Situated on a piece of land called 'Gallow Hill', to the west of the village of Carnwath, the then '9 hole course' was laid out by Mr Willie Auchterlonie, an Open champion, coveted club maker and contributor to the Jubilee course layout in St Andrew's. Following completion, the course was formally opened in front of sizeable crowds by Lady Lockhart, the wife of Sir Simon M. Lockhart, Honorary President of the club and laird of the estates, on 29th June 1907. The course was finally extended to 18 holes in May 1922 and by 1936 Carnwath Golf Club was visited by more than 3,000 golfers annually.

Tee Insight:This course delivers steady pressure from short par threes and fours where tee accuracy sets up scoring chances but high slope turns small mistakes into bogeys. Repeating par four tests build risk on longer ones demanding control.
