Caldwell is superb course, if a little short, situated five miles southeast of Barrhead on the Glasgow-Irvine road.
Saying that, it has all the features of a great course, including water on several holes and various tough approach shots. Founded in 1903, it's an undulating one, and is highly regarded as one of the best in the region and a favourite among golfers across the Central belt.
The third hole, called 'Risk an' Hope', is a tough 160-yard par-3 that lives up to its name. You'll find out-of-bounds on the right for the entire length of the hole as you aim to tee it into a long, narrow green.
Caldwell really is an excellent choice around Glasgow and for the relaxed green fee, you can't go wrong.
