Palacerigg Golf Club

Overview: Designed by the legendary Sir Henry Cotton and opened in 1975, Palacerigg Golf Club is a premier municipal parkland course set within the expansive Palacerigg Country Park. The 18-hole layout is a par 70/71, measuring 6,444 yards, and reflects Cotton’s architectural vision for strategic but accessible golf. The course is characterized by its wide fairways, large tiered greens, and the natural timber that provides a grand and sheltered atmosphere. Palacerigg offers a robust and consistent test of golf that utilizes the natural topography to create a variety of high-risk, high-reward holes in the heart of North Lanarkshire.

Did You Know? The course was built as part of a major post-war regional development project to bring championship-standard public golf to the Central Belt. Its signature "Cotton" bunkering and the surrounding nature trails make it a unique destination that blends high-quality sporting challenge with regional biodiversity conservation efforts.
