Lanark Golf Course. Par 70, SSS 71

Visitors to Lanark are often surprised to find a golf course of such high quality, with it's sandy links and moorland turf, so far inland. Since 1851, when the course had 6 holes and 21 members, through the initial definition of the 18-hole course by Tom Morris and it's subsequent refinement by James Braid, Lanark has retained it's own unique golfing character.

Lanark is never an easy course, despite the excellent condition of it's greens and fairways. Good players can shine at Lanark however, as we saw when Sam Torrance, of Ryder cup fame, carded a 64 here. When the rough is at it's summer height, and the wind blows, scores like that are just a golfer's dream.
