About Biggar Golf Club

Biggar Golf Club was established on 13 June 1895, though the club has moved site more than once since then. The first course occupied elevated ground roughly a mile from where the town's railway station once stood, on land called Langlees, home to Lord and Lady Clydesmuir. A second course followed in 1901 at Heavyside, south-east of the town, before the club settled at its present location after a fundraising bazaar in 1907 raised the money needed to buy the ground and lay out a public park alongside it. That course opened with nine holes set out by Old Tom Morris, and was extended to a full eighteen in 1922. The clubhouse originally stood to the north of the course, close to what is now the fifth green, until a new building went up under Clydesdale District Council during the late 1970s; the club then took on the lease itself in 1980. Today the course runs over largely flat parkland with a par of 68 across its 18 holes, and open ground gives views towards the Southern Uplands and the countryside around Biggar. Its layout has long had a reputation for tightness off the tee, reflected in a standard scratch score set below par.

Where to find it

The address is The Park, Biggar, South Lanarkshire, ML12 6AH. It is about 26 miles from Edinburgh. That is a straight-line distance. The sidebar links to the club website and lists its phone number. The map below marks the course, so you can check the route first.

Check the club website for tee times, because visitor rules differ by club. Ask for the current green fee, since we do not list one. Pack a waterproof layer, because UK weather changes fast.
