Golf clubs

Bishopbriggs Golf Club was established in 1906.In 1906 a group of golf enthusiasts consisting of mainly railway workers on the Northside of Glasgow leased 53 Hectares of land in the Kenmure area of Bishopbriggs a large part of which is adjacent to the Forth & Clyde Canal. The golf course lies within the boundaries of original Kenmure Estate purchased by Charles Stirling (a West India trader) in 1806. A significant element of "policy" woodland broad-leafed species oak, ash, beech etc established at that time still remains today. The Bishopbriggs burn which meanders through the course all adds to an enjoyable and challenging golfing experience.
It seems that they commissioned the renowned golf course architect James Braid in October of that year to design a number of the 9 holes of a parkland course to be built and the golf course was opened in 1907 and extended to 18 holes in 1911.
