Carnwath Golf Club was founded in 1907 on a piece of land called Gallow Hill, situated to the west of the village of Carnwath. The 9 hole course was laid out by Mr W, Auchterlonie of St Andrew’s and opened by Lady Lockhart, the wife of Sir Simon M Lockhart, Honorary President of the club and laird of the estates, on 29th June 1907.
The course was extended to 18 holes in May 1922 and by 1936 was visited by more than 3000 golfers annually. With the acquisition of a further 20 acres south of the course, it’s layout was again redesigned by G M Clark, club champion, and the new layout opened in July 1963.
Although the course is roughly 6,000 yards in length, three of its four Par 3’s are in the first four holes – so it is important to be swinging well straight from the word go.
As the round progresses, several roads and a railway line come into play. A premium is placed on accuracy as opposed to length when taking on our very own ‘Amen Corner’ through 5, 6, 7 & 8 and players are pleased to see the distant views offered by the 9th tee afterwards.
If you can conquer the front nine, there is opportunity to take on some enticing Par 4’s in the back nine.
