 Course overview - Braehead Golf Club - a history   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The members who remained formed Braehead Golf Club and when the land at Arnsbrae became available for golf once again, the course was extended to its present eighteen hole layout.
It is widely recognised that the variety of challenging holes, coupled with the many fine views which can be seen from various parts of the course, mean that Braehead always had the potential to be amongst the foremost Clubs in the area.
The members of Braehead Golf Club are justifiably proud of their course and clubhouse facilities, however, the Club's greatest asset is the membership itself.

 Report on Braehead by the Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland
A request for a realignment of the administrative boundary at Braehead was one of a number of proposals forwarded by Renfrew District Council to the Commission as part of the statutory review of local government areas between 1985 and 1990.
The Council suggested that, because 80-90% of the Braehead development is located within its area and it is collecting the equivalent percentage in business rates, the Council boundary should be amended to include the whole of the centre (including all access roads and parking areas) within Glasgow City Council.
It is physically separated from the north of the city by the River Clyde, isolated from the adjacent city community of Govan by the King George V Dock area and disconnected from Cardonald by the M8 motorway and Glasgow - Ayr railway line.
