The site on Glasgow’s side declared itself insolvent and went into administration earlier this year.

Located half a mile from the M77, 3.5 miles from the affluent suburb of Newton Mearns and 14 miles from Glasgow city centre, the highly regarded, and “challenging”, 18-hole golf course is set in an attractive parkland/heathland rural setting.

The focus of the course is the clubhouse, a landmark structure which sits in an elevated position and comprises a main hall, three bar lounges, formal dining room and kitchen, coffee room, locker rooms, offices and a two-bedroom club steward’s flat.

Donald Yellowley, a partner in DM Hall’s Bridge of Allan office who oversaw the marketing process, said: “We were pleasantly surprised by the interest generated throughout the UK by this property even before the marketing process was fully underway.

“The top bidders have secured this long-established golfing establishment set in an attractive heathland location, with highly accessible road connections”.
