Located just a few miles from Glasgow City Centre, Cathcart Castle is one of the oldest courses near Scotland's largest city.
Established in 1895, it sits high above the city, affording magnificent views of the skyline and even the countryside off in the distance.
The signature hole is the third, a 564-yard, par-5, aptly named Devil's Elbow, which boasts a downhill dog-leg with two burns crossing the fairways in different places, whilst the green slopes back-to-front and is heavily guarded by bunkers.
The low handicap player may choose to take on the corner from the tee and could be rewarded with a chance to reach the green in two shots. It makes for a similar comparison to the rest of the course, as it's tough but fair, and enjoyable nonetheless.
