Lanark

Overview: Lanark is an inland moorland course laid across free-draining glacial sands on The Moor. The 18-hole Old Course plays to par 70 at about 6,428 yards, with firm fairways, natural contours and a mixture of open and more sheltered holes. Its ground game and changing lies give the course a links-like feel without a coastal setting.

History: Golf began on the present ground in 1851, when six holes were laid out on Lanark Common. George Sayers and Old Tom Morris developed the course, with Morris extending it to 18 holes in 1897. James Braid later refined the layout in 1927, and much of the current character still comes from those historic stages on the same land.

Did You Know? Lanark is recognised as the world's oldest inland course still playing on its original ground. The club also has a nine-hole Wee Course made up of par threes, giving the site a second format alongside the historic 18-hole layout.
