Helensburgh Golf Club

Founded in August 1893, with nine holes laid out that same year to a design approved by Old Tom Morris, Helensburgh expanded to 18 holes by 1905 and was further modified by James Braid in the 1920s. A friendly, community-focused club above the Gareloch, it retains the Breingan Medal, contested since 1894, as its oldest trophy and has nurtured several notable Scottish amateur and professional golfers.
