Langside

Langside Golf Club.  Instituted 1894. “Willie Fernie, Troon, laid out a new nine-hole course, for a proposed new Glasgow golf club, at Langside, near Glasgow, on Saturday. The total length of the course is about 2100 yards, and the holes vary in length from a drive and an approach shot to an iron shot. The course is over two fields in the neighbourhood of the village, which have been for many years under pasture, and the ground has the making of a very goof inland course. The hazards are trees, hedges, and roads. The club is in course of formation.” (S 29.10.1894)
