Glencoe Golf Course. First mentioned 1908. “A new golf course was opened on Monday of last week at Glencoe by a Lady visitor, Miss Wintour. There was a large number present at the opening ceremony. The course is a nine hole one, and is nicely situated along the Glencoe foreshore. The record round over the course was made by Mr Maclaren. A match with the Ballachulish club, who hold the Bachelor Cup, will soon be played on the ground of the latter.

Not recorded in Annuals.
