Strathclyde Park Golf Course

Strathclyde Park Golf Course is a public 9-hole course within the 1,000-acre Strathclyde Country Park, 20 minutes southeast of Glasgow city centre via the M74. South Lanarkshire Leisure operates the facility alongside the park's other amenities — the national watersports centre on the loch, the camping and caravan site, and the Motherwell FC training ground.

Par 34, 2,400 yards in a clockwise loop around the loch's eastern shore. Seven holes play through mature parkland with established tree lines as the primary boundary; two on the back stretch open toward the lochside with water visible across the 6th and 7th fairways. The 6th, a short par-4 where the approach plays with the loch behind the green, is the most memorable hole on the card. The greens are well-maintained to a standard consistently above what the green fee suggests.

For golfers in the Hamilton, Motherwell, and East Kilbride area who want a quick 9-hole round without travelling to Glasgow's city courses, Strathclyde Park provides a reliable option. The country park itself has good visitor facilities — café, car parks, cycle hire — making it useful for mixed groups where not everyone wants to play golf.
