Golf clubs

Buchanan Castle Golf Club was established in 1936 designed by James Braid.The 1st hole is 395 yards.The Clubhouse was built on the site of the ancient Buchanan House, home of the Buchanan family that had held lands on Loch Lomond side since the 13th century, The Graham Family, The Dukes of Montrose, bought the estate in the 17th century later rebuilt much of it and have held it since that time.The 9th hole at 387 yards is almost a replica, this time with the fairway sloping downwards into the right turn of the dog-leg.
Holes 6, 7, 9 and 16 run by the River which is never in play, but it is always there.Braid̍s original design on the 7th called for a carry of a couple of hundred yards across the angle of the River Endrick.
