Neil Shillinglaw Memorial Men's Open 2027

Glencorse Golf Club

Midlothian, Scotland

Glencorse Golf Club is an 18-hole course located in Milton Bridge, Scotland. The layout features a mix of par 3s, 4s, and 5s, with notable named holes including Whinny Bank, The Viaduct, The Precipice, and Hills O' Hame. The course demonstrates characteristic Scottish moorland design with holes named after local landmarks and geographical features of the surrounding landscape. The course offers separate tees for men and women, with varying par configurations depending on tee selection. For example, hole 4 (Grahams Road) plays as a par 4 from the men's tees but a par 5 from the women's tees, while hole 13 (Stey Brae) follows a similar pattern. Multiple par 3s are distributed throughout the round, providing variety in hole lengths. Glencorse's history is documented in "Golf at Milton Bridge," a club history published in 1998 by member Bill Taylor. The course operates seasonally with winter conditions including modified greens and preferred lies during the winter months. The moorland setting and named holes reflect the course's integration into the Scottish landscape, creating a traditional links-style experience despite its inland location.
