For members of the Association of James Braid Courses

The James Braid
Trail

Eight celebrated Braid courses. One private lodge. Member-reciprocal rates at every club.

A trail of the great man's courses

Five-time Open Champion. Three hundred courses. One short drive between them.

James Braid designed or remodelled more than three hundred courses across the British Isles. An unusually rich concentration of them sit within an hour of Airlie House — and members of any club in the Association of James Braid Courses play one another's layouts at preferential rates. Stay with us and play a Braid course every day of the week.
