Greenock Golf Club was founded in 1890 on a site above the namesake town, although five-time Open champion James Braid was retained in 1924 to redesign the course, which is now an 18-hole regulation-length course and a shorter 9-hole layout. Greenock is about 25 minutes from Glasgow International Airport. Marketing hype aside, the views over the town, the River Clyde, and Dunoon really are remarkable.
