Cawder Golf Club is a golf course in Bishopbriggs, East Dunbartonshire, Scotland.[1] The 6,297 yard Championship course was designed by James Braid in the 1930s.[2] The course has undergone several refurbishments since its inception, most recently in 1981.[3] A smaller course, the Keir course also exists at the club.[2] The course hosted the 1987 and 1988 Bowring Ladies Scottish Opens. In 2025, the course hosted the Cawder 36-hole Challenge.[4] The property is owned by Derwent London.[5]
The golf club lies on the grounds of Cawder House, built in 1814. The historic property sits on the site of the former Castle of Cadder.[6] A courtyard stable complex, built in the early 19th century, also exists on the site and is named to the Buildings at Risk register.[7]
The Forth and Clyde Canal runs adjacent to the property. In 2015, the body of a man was recovered from the water near the property.[8] In 2022, a man went into the water from the course and later died after getting into difficulty.[9]
