James Braid Association

We are pleased to announce that Skelmorlie Golf Club has recently joined the Association of James Braid Courses. This exclusive association is only open to Courses that have been designed by the legendary James Braid. Built in 1891 as a nine hole course, we added 4 new holes in 1909 becoming a 13 hole course. James Braid re-designed the 13 hole course during a visit to the area in 1911. The course remained pretty much unaltered until 5 new holes were added in 1999 to finally make Skelmorlie an eighteen hole course. Skelmorlie Golf Course is listed in John Moreton's booklet 'James Braid, Golf Course Designer'. The benefits of being in the association are that members of the association can play each others courses to enjoy and compare the Braid influences.
