Glenmuir's Golf Journal

A round at the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island, the Pete and Alice Dye design that hosted the 1991 Ryder Cup, the 2012 and 2021 PGA Championships, and which will host its third PGA in 2031. The course carries the highest slope rating in the United States, and on a 30mph day it earns every point of it.

A first-hand round at Royal County Down, ranked the world’s number one course by Golf Digest for the sixth consecutive edition, paired with a closing round at neighbouring Ardglass and its fifteenth-century clubhouse. Twenty-four hours in Newcastle, County Down, and the question every golfer eventually asks: does the course live up to the ranking?

A journey along Japan’s Golden Route during cherry blossom season, from Tokyo’s astonishing golf retail to the famous Fuji Course at Kawana. A first-person account of the country where precision, patience and the acceptance of fleeting perfection define both the game and the culture.

Glenmuir and Sunderland of Scotland are pleased to announce the appointment of James Cornish as Sales Agent for South East England.

The Lanark-based golfing brand, founded in 1891, returns to fine knitwear, Scottish craftsmanship and the traditions that bring families back to the fairway.

Scotland’s oldest golf brand brings fine knitwear and quiet craftsmanship to golf's most historic championship, beginning with a curated collection for The 154th Open at Royal Birkdale.

The 131st Amateur Championship comes to Royal Liverpool and West Lancashire from 15 to 20 June 2026, with 288 players from 41 countries chasing exemptions into The Open, The Masters and the US Open. This is the championship’s record 19th staging at Hoylake. The word “amateur” is the smallest word on the trophy.

The best golfers in history weren’t just brilliant players, they were unmistakable ones. Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Seve Ballesteros, Tiger Woods, John Daly: five completely different identities, one shared instinct. They understood that what you wear on a course tells the story of who you are. This is what golf’s greatest characters can teach us about personal style.

Two of Scotland’s most significant cultural exports, born a generation apart and intertwined ever since. The history, the hip flask tradition, the distillery trails worth a detour, and what makes a good dram for the course.

Open Licensee Day at Royal Birkdale, weeks before the championship returns to Southport. Thirty-eight miles per hour of Irish Sea wind, a brand new par five, a new par three, the Arnold Palmer plaque, the halfway-house sausage rolls, and a caddie called Andy who promised that a well struck ball does not move in the wind.

Master winter golf with Glenmuir and Sunderland of Scotland’s three-layer system. This proven approach keeps you warm and mobile whilst maintaining full swing freedom, ensuring comfort and performance in cold weather.

The 31-year-old becomes the first Englishman to lift the Wanamaker Trophy since 1919, sealing a historic victory at Aronimink Golf Club with the unmistakable signature of two MacWet gloves on his hands.

Nobody will shout at you for breaking them. But observing Scotland’s unwritten rules of golf etiquette, from letting faster groups through to removing your hat in the clubhouse, makes the difference between being a welcome guest and the kind of visitor that the members discuss after you have left.

No carts. No cart girls. Nobody telling you what tee to play from. Scottish golf operates by a different set of rules, and overseas visitors who arrive prepared for the differences will have the trip of a lifetime. Those who do not may spend the first three holes wondering where the drinks cart is.

Founded in 1892, Palmetto Golf Club in Aiken, South Carolina is the second oldest 18-hole golf course in America on its original site. Designed in part by Alister MacKenzie immediately after he completed Augusta National, Palmetto opens its gates to visitors for a single week each year. That week is Masters week.

A ferry crossing in winter, a drive through mountains and past fleeting deer, and 12 holes on a cliff-top links that asks only to be experienced. A visit to Shiskine Golf Club on the Isle of Arran.

The Masters Tournament is one of the hardest sporting events in the world to obtain tickets for. Volunteering remains one of the few legitimate routes inside Augusta National’s gates, with the added reward of an opportunity to play the course on appreciation day. Here is everything you need to know for the 2027 tournament.

In April 2026, I went to The Masters for the first time. Travelling with my brother Abhishek and uncles Sunil and Amit, following in the footsteps of my late grandparents who first made the pilgrimage in 1997. Find out why “There really is nothing like The Masters”.

An Alister MacKenzie design for £31.50. A true links course on the Aberdeen coast for the same. A round at the tip of Kintyre that was once a fiver. Scotland’s best golf does not always come with a championship price tag, and some of the finest rounds in the country cost less than a decent bottle of wine.

While the USA boasts opulent halfway houses as a norm, the UK’s approach blends tradition with quiet innovation. From a converted lighthouse on the Ayrshire coast to an unmanned bothy in the Highlands serving Baileys hot chocolate, here is a curated journey through the finest halfway houses in British golf, and the unwritten etiquette that makes them work.
