Carnwath Golf Club

Although the course is less than 6, 000 yards in length, three of its four par threes are in the first four holes, so you'll want to be swinging well straight from the word go.

Labelled one of Lanarkshire's finest golf clubs, a jaunt round this course in the Scottish lowlands will be worth every penny.

As your round progresses several roads and a railway line come into play, you head through the stunning countryside before a tough finish awaits, ensuring visitors will have to work for their score, albeit that is an enjoyable task.

The friendly atmosphere within the clubhouse makes a visit here irresistible, and being in between Glasgow and Edinburgh means the course is popular with many golfers throughout the year.
