Brechin Golf and Squash Club

Founded in 1893 with a course laid out by James Braid, this rolling parkland test near the Angus Glens gives fine views of the Grampian Hills and a friendly, good-value alternative to its more famous neighbours at Carnoustie and St Andrews, both within an hour's drive. The par-72 layout rewards accurate approach play, and the clubhouse's Hickory Restaurant and modern fitness facilities round out the offering.
