Haggs Castle Golf Club, Glasgow

The course and its character

The club formed in 1910 on land that belonged to Sir John Stirling Maxwell's family. The original nine holes lay between the railway and Dumbreck Road, with a further nine later cut out of the woodland. From the white tees the course plays to par 71. Tree-lined fairways reward players who plot their way round and stay on the short grass. Haggs Castle has hosted four European Tour events, won by Bernhard Langer, Ken Brown, Howard Clark and David Feherty, and stages the Cameron Corbett Vase, a world-ranked amateur event, each year.

Booking and visitor practicalities

Visitors can book tee times online from the club website, and the club caters for societies and outings. Warm up first on the practice range, short-game area and putting green. A dress code applies across the course and clubhouse: smart golf attire, with no denim, camouflage, sportswear material, cargo-style trousers, workwear or football and rugby kit. Golf-brand hoodies are allowed. The club posts course status updates, including temporary greens or buggy restrictions, so check before you travel in wet weather.
