Downfield Golf Club was a village until the turn of the century, and play was at the 'Baldovan' course. The clubhouse was an old horse drawn tramcar. Downfield Golf Club was established 1932 after the course, part of the Camperdown Estate, was returned to the club after having been used as agricultural land in the First World War. The course was also extended by demand to an eighteen hole course. For 39 years until he retired in 1969, Fred Walker was the appointed club professional.
This course is one of the finest in the United Kingdom, hosting many prestigious competitions, Scottish PGA Masters, Scottish Boys Stroke play and Scottish Amateur. This course has been described by many a leading player as one of Britain's premier parkland course, an inland gem, no visitor should miss.
