Glasgow Gailes Links is home to the historic Glasgow Golf Club, established in 1787, making it the 10th oldest golf club in the world. This unique club features two courses located 30 miles apart, with Glasgow Gailes being a classic links course with another parkland course closer to Glasgow centre.
The course is characterised by its challenging fairways lined with gorse and heather, testing even the best professionals. It serves as a final qualifying venue for the Open Championship from 2014 to 2017, demanding precise drives threaded between the railway line and coast, ensuring Glasgow Gailes provides a test to golfers of all standards.
Though often overshadowed by other famous links courses in Ayrshire, Glasgow Gailes is a hidden gem that deserves a spot on any golfer’s must-play list.
