Cawder Golf Club
Scottish golf club
Cawder Golf Club is a golf course in Bishopbriggs, East Dunbartonshire, Scotland. The 6,297 yard Championship course was designed by James Braid in the 1930s. The course has undergone several refurbishments since its inception, most recently in 1981. A smaller course, the Keir course also exists at the club. The course hosted the 1987 and 1988 Bowring Ladies Scottish Opens. In 2025, the course hosted the Cawder 36-hole Challenge. The property is owned by Derwent London.
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. A courtyard stable complex, built in the early 19th century, also exists on the site and is named to the Buildings at Risk register.

Why this record matters
The phrase “scottish golf club” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 29, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q135177598. Authority coordinates are 55.927, -4.233. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1981, 1987, 1988 and 2025.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
