Douglas Park Golf Club

Douglas Park Golf Club occupies parkland in Bearsden — the same north-west Glasgow suburb that houses Glasgow Golf Club at Killermont a mile to the north. Founded 1897, the course plays over ground with the same established character as the Killermont estate: mature trees, settled turf, and the kind of parkland that takes a century to develop. It is the more accessible Bearsden round — no prior arrangement required, weekday visitor booking available without the formality of its neighbour.

Par 69, around 5,900 yards. The course uses the natural contours of the Bearsden hillside, with several holes playing across slopes that produce varied lies and approach angles despite the modest overall yardage. The tree cover throughout is typical north Glasgow established parkland — fairways framed by hardwood that narrows entry to several greens and makes the positional demands of the routing clear from each tee.

Visitor green fee is £35–50. Douglas Park is ten miles from Glasgow city centre, accessible by rail to Bearsden station on the Milngavie line from Glasgow Queen Street. For golfers combining a north Glasgow parkland day with local history — the Antonine Wall Roman fortification runs through Bearsden, and a surviving bathhouse section is preserved in a residential garden near the main street — the round provides a compact morning before an afternoon of Roman archaeology.
