Cowal Golf Club

Founded in October 1891 on the Cowal Peninsula above the Firth of Clyde, the original nine holes by Willie Campbell were extended to 18 by Willie Auchterlonie in 1906 before James Braid completely reconstructed the course between 1924 and 1928. Set on high ground overlooking Dunoon with sweeping views across the Clyde, the club has recently begun restoring Braid's full 18-hole design after decades as a shortened layout.
