Aberfoyle
Braeval, Aberfoyle, By Stirling
Central
01877 382493
Aberfoyle is a hilly course that lies only a mile out of the village on the main Stirling road. It is one of the many James Braid-designed heathland courses in the country and was established as far back as 1890. The course has stunning views west to Ben Lomond and south to the Campsie Hills, so the overall panorama is quite superb. Although relatively short, it is a tricky par 66 course with a number of neat little holes including the fourth, where a good tee shot leaves a short uphill approach to a green cut into the hillside.

Aigas is situated at the foot of Strathglass, five miles West of Beauly . The course snuggles between the backdrop of Aigas forest and the river Beauly. Superb views from the first tee where the fairway falls away to the distant green. The short second, "O're the Dyke", nestles between mature beeches and requires great precision. The sixth tee refreshes the mind and spirit before facing the challenge of the swinging fairway to the dramatic gorge green, where the river plunges down through the 'An Druim'. The longer hitter may take a short cut over the bend of the river, though a sliced shot here could result in a splash!

On a windy day club selection can vary from a 4-iron to a 9-iron, a characteristic which makes this course so interesting to play.

Alva Golf Course is well known locally for being a challenging course. Picturesque over the majority of holes, but with many natural hazards in whin, gorse, burns and gulleys, it is as beautiful as they come. Being limited to nine holes for the length of its history has not prevented many a young Alva golfer progressing towards a single figure handicap. This is most probably due to the course nature, with its small and tough to read greens, difficult lies and ever present need to be fairly straight from the tee or pay the price.

Alyth golf club is an 18-hole layout established over 100 years ago.

Alyth's most demanding aspect, is its tranquil setting. Within the pines, silver birch and heather, it is easy to lose yourself in the joys of golf. It's easy to say it in writing, but if you can hold the fairways, judge the distances, choose the right clubs and have a reasonable run of success on the greens, you should come off the 18th green with a decided spring in your step.

The ninth is also an interesting hole at 220-yards for a par three. The fact that this hole usually plays into the wind means that the hole more often than not plays like a par four.

This tree-lined course is situated in the heart of Lanarkshire overlooking Strathclyde Park. It lies between the M74 and M8 motorways and is within one mile of each. The layout was opened for play in 1905 and later extended in 1970. The second hole has recently been re-designed by Mark James and Andrew Mair. The first five holes are extremely demanding, providing one of the most difficult starts in golf. This stretch is followed by the gentler "birdie alley" where lost shots can be recovered. The signature hole is the par three 17th which involves a tricky tee shot over out of bounds, from an elevated tee.

Benbecula
Balivanich, Benbecula
Western Isles
01870 602679
Benbecula is a naturally flat course beside the Balivanich airfield. As a result of its good condition, it is a popular haunt for visiting golfers who are seeking a game in slightly different surroundings. There are a number of testing holes that will require great judgement and club selection, with some natural hazards dotted around the course. Although only a nine hole course, there are 18 tees in operation, so your round is anything but repetitive. Visitors can experience incredible views of the Monach Isles and Atlantic Ocean from many vantage points and an honesty box is in operation, a real island golf club tradition.

Biggar
The Park, Broughton Road, Biggar,
Clyde
01899 220319
There aren't too many golf course in Scotland, never mind the world, that lay claim to their course record being held by a former Ryder Cup player and Open Champion. Biggar, though, is not like any other golf course. Paul Lawrie's professional course record of 63 is expected to stand for some time. The course is fairly flat, although it is very scenic in parts as it basks in rolling Borders countryside, a great asset for any golf course to have. The short ninth, with water to the left and out of bounds on the right, is the signature hole and has ruined many a promising scorecard.

Bishopbriggs
Brackenbrae Road, Bishopbriggs, Glasgow
Clyde
0141 772 8938
The golf course lies within the boundaries of original Kenmure Estate purchased by Charles Stirling in 1806. A significant element of "policy" woodland broad-leafed species oak, ash, beech etc established at that time still remains today. The Bishopbriggs burn which meanders through the course all adds to an enjoyable and challenging golfing experience. The 16th is an excellent par four that requires a good drive to gain position for an exacting second shot. The drive, often shortened by a sloping fairway, can leave a difficult shot to a green across a burn that runs along the right side of the fairway. The golf course has went thro' signifcant changes over the last 2 years with 3 new holes built and a 6 mini hole and driving range now available

Located in one of the most beautiful areas of Scotland in which to play golf, Kinross, in Fife, Bishopshire Golf Club is a wonderful nine-hole heathland course that is fit to test any level of player. It is situated three miles east of the village off the M90. It exhibits wonderful views across to Loch Leven and the Fife hills and is an absolute pleasure to play on a warm, sunny evening. It can provide quite a stern test if the wind picks up and is a little tiring on the legs. The locals, incidentally, refer to it as 'Coronary Hill'.
