Although the course is less than 6, 000 yards in length, three of its four par threes are in the first four holes, so it is important to be swinging well straight from the word go. As your round progresses several roads and a railway line come into play, putting a premium on accuracy as opposed to length. Carnwath boasts a tough finish, ensuring that a good score is never given up lightly.

The friendly atmosphere within the clubhouse and some excellent catering make a visit here an irresistible proposition. Being equidistant from Glasgow and Edinburgh the course is popular with many golfers throughout the year.
