Shotts Golf Club

Shotts Golf Club traces its origins to a meeting convened by the Reverend R W Rutherford in December 1895, and moved to its present Blairhead site in 1922. The course layout was substantially reworked by James Braid from 1936, a project that took until 1949 to complete, and its par-3 fourth hole, 'The Devil's Elbow', is rated among Scotland's finest short holes. The club remains a highlight of the Lanarkshire golfing scene for its Braid pedigree.
