The course is a typical Braid moorland course and makes full use of the contours of the land.

The course to-day is largely to the original Braid layout although lengthened over the years to now stand as a challenging par 70 of 6107 yards.

The course is set in part round a fishing loch and being at a height of 500 feet offers extensive views over Glasgow and to the hills of the Southern Highland beyond.
