 Public golf course |
Alexandra Park Dennistoun Glasgow G31 8SE United Kingdom +44 141 556 1294 |
The serious golfer will prefer a greater challenge than Alexandra Park's nine holes can offer, but this public course is very popular amongst novices, occasional players and locals. With a total yardage of 2,800 and par 31, the holes are all quite short (the longest is 350 yards), but it is a great place to work on your irons and pitching. Don't feel disheartened if you lose too many balls playing this course, because the rough is very rough — and local children are famed for running off with any balls you hit out of sight. No booking is required. The clubhouse also offers bar and catering facilities and is available for functions. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 An island day trip |
Glasgow, Isle of Arran KA27 8HY United Kingdom +44 177 030 2202 http://www.nts.org.uk/ |
Built on the site of a Viking fortress, parts of Brodick castle date from the 13th century, but its real splendour was established in the 18th. Especially impressive are the Victorian walled garden and the rhododendron collection in the woodland garden. The charming surroundings are home to the usual visitor centre, gift shop and tearoom, as well as an adventure playground to entertain the kids. The parkland setting, overlooked by Goatfell mountain, has woodland paths to explore, with waterfalls, gorges and a wildlife pond. Arran is a beautiful island, well worth a visit in its own right.
