The Bishopbriggs Golf Club

Fab cars that I would have liked but too expensive for me

I came from Edinburgh to play at my friend local course. Me being an idiot forgot the battery for my electric trolley. I asked staff if I could borrow or rent of the push trolleys at the front of the clubhouse… Trolleys were chained up and the older gentleman couldn’t be bothered to get the key to unlock them. Had to play 18 holes carrying a heavy cart bag. Also staff inside the bar not helpful at all, asked for a coffee to take away, they only had sit in cups…..like why???

The best I have seen the course in all my 50 years membership. The greens are in fantastic condition, the tees are looking very good, and the all round condition of the course is a testament to the hard working green keeping staff, well done. Thoroughly enjoyed playing in the Gents Seniors competition today.

Great course, lovely staff and first class service. Really made me feel at home. I have given 4 instead of 5 stars solely down to the inadequate parking as it really felt that the parking area was far too small for the amount of people playing at this wonderful club.

There is much more to see. These photos are taken in the overgrown grounds of what was once Kenmure House built by one of the renowned Stirling family. It became a convent school for girls I believe before becoming derelict and ruined by fire. Very little remains apart from the cast iron gate /fence posts a buff sandstone base or cap stone that appear in what I reckon to be a garden on a slope. There is much rubbish left behind, (mainly empty beer cans and broken glass) I'm sorry to say but ...
