The championship East Course has
hosted many major events over the years including the Solheim Cup, The Scottish
Seniors Open Championship and the PGA Championship of Scotland. Designed and built
in 1927 by James Braid the East Course has changed little from the original layout.
The greens are large in scale with
immaculate putting surfaces. Many of the longer par 4 holes withe their intelligent
use of trees and hazards, offer a serious challenge to the golfer. The short holes
are well bunkered and the 15th hole in particular, known as the "Wee Wrecker",
provides a tricky preamble to the treacherous par 4 sixteenth.
