With views of the Kilsyth and Campsie hills, our champion 18-hole golf course was designed by Dave Thomas and Steve Ballesteros. One of the few UK greens overseen by Ballesteros. This year The Westerwood Hotel plays host to the JGS Masters. We are going to take a deeper dive into the event and have a look at who you might need to beat in order to slip on the Green Jacket!
When is the event?
The event will be played over 2 days, Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th May.
How will scoring work?
All our categories will play over the 2 days, the 18 hole categories will be won by the player with the lowest total gross or nett over the 2 days. The 9 hole stableford will be won by the player with the highest combined stableford score over the 2 days. The flag will be slightly different, players will be awarded points based on their finishing position on both days which will follow the following scoring matrix:

VENUE FOCUS
Renfrew Golf Club > Home to the 2023 JGS Quaich
The Club was founded in September 1894 and a 9-hole course constructed after a meeting of businessmen from Renfrew and Govan on land leased from Spears of Elderslie Estate. In 1920 James Braid was the Architect who extended the course to 18 holes when the Clubhouse opened on the 20th May 1925. The extended course was the longest in the West of Scotland with a Par of 73.
The present tree-lined parkland course, constructed in 1970 and officially opened on 29th September 1973, was the design of Architect Commander John D. Harris in the estate of the late Lord Blythswood. Fine specimens of Lime, Chestnut, Beech, Birch, Oak, Sycamore in all 29 different species of trees have been identified. The 12th hole has a particularly vibrant display of Rhododendrons for part of the season.
Since 1973, the 6808 yard course with a SSS of 73 off the Championship Tees has hosted many major tournaments: Scottish Amateur Championship 1984 and 1994, The European Boys Team Championship 1988, The Sunderland of Scotland Masters and in 2000-2004 Scottish Regional Qualifier for The Open.
