Braid was 19 in 1889. He was a joiner in Earlsferry and didn\u2019t turn professional until 1896. Unless the club hired a teenage Fife joiner to lay out a course 150 miles from home, two dates have been merged into one sentence. One directory puts Braid\u2019s involvement at 1927, as a redesign, which would at least fit his career. I couldn\u2019t find a primary source for it. The 4th is called \u201cBraids Special\u201d, which looks like the Brechin pattern (<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/?p=469\"><strong>Blog 28<\/strong><\/a>): one visit, a few suggestions, then a century of creep. Lockerbie is nonetheless a member of the Association of James Braid Courses. So is Lochmaben, four miles down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole04_tee-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole04_tee-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole04_tee-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole04_tee-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole04_tee-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole04_tee-676x507.jpg 676w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole04_tee-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole04_tee-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><strong>The 4th, \u201cBraids Special\u201d, sponsored by a packaging firm and a High Street solicitor.

It sits on a rise above the town, with views over Annandale and, on a clear day, to the Lake District. The holes have real variety: a pond carry at the 8th, a long par 3 at the 5th, and my favourite, the par 3 16th, Queensberry View. It isn\u2019t too tough, which is exactly what a society course should be, and for years that\u2019s what Lockerbie was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole16_tee1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole16_tee1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole16_tee1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole16_tee1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole16_tee1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole16_tee1-676x507.jpg 676w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole16_tee1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole16_tee1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>The best hole on the course for me, the Stroke Index 5, par 3 16th hole.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The routing is the weak point.

The fairways were freckled with daisies, the bunkers were compacted and weedy, and rakes were scarce. The 18th green was patchy. In fairness, I played in early May with the course still shaking off a wet winter, and the tees were excellent: flat, firm and well cut. A summer visit would be a fairer measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole06_ygreen1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole06_ygreen1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole06_ygreen1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole06_ygreen1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole06_ygreen1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole06_ygreen1-676x507.jpg 676w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole06_ygreen1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole06_ygreen1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><strong><em><strong>The bunker on the par four 6th, The Beeches: compacted sand, weeds and a lone rake. Volunteers can only be in so many places at once.<\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The clubhouse was the saddest part. It was tired and run down, and the locals told me food was now a rarity. They put the membership at under 200, paying around \u00a3450 a year, with much of the maintenance supported by volunteers. The public record backs up the gist. In 2016 the club asked its landlord, the Lockerbie and Lochmaben Common Good Fund, for a rent cut. In 2018 it lost 24 members in a year and needed \u00a360,000 for drainage. In late 2020 the council served notice to end its lease. Covid brought a membership bounce and a reprieve, and a five-year deal with a local wind farm company is worth \u00a310,000 a year, roughly the subscriptions of 22 members. Add the sponsors\u2019 boards on every tee and you have a club the town clearly still wants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole05_tee2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole05_tee2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole05_tee2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole05_tee2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole05_tee2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole05_tee2-676x507.jpg 676w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole05_tee2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole05_tee2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Fran <\/em>teeing on the <em>par three 5th, the longest of the five par 3s at 196 yards from red.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So has the town outgrown its club? No. Lockerbie had 2,029 people in 1881 and has around 4,200 today. What has changed is the car. A Victorian town course was built for golfers who walked to it. Today\u2019s golfer can just as easily drive four miles to Lochmaben. As with Maybole (<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/?p=3193\"><strong>Blog 193<\/strong><\/a>), what decides survival at this end of Scottish golf isn\u2019t the size of the town. It\u2019s whether you\u2019re the course people choose within a fifteen-minute drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole03_xapproach2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole03_xapproach2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole03_xapproach2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole03_xapproach2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole03_xapproach2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole03_xapproach2-676x507.jpg 676w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole03_xapproach2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole03_xapproach2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><strong>Drove Road, the par four 3rd: a lone tree in mid-fairway, daisies underfoot and the hills beyond.

All 259 people on board and 11 residents of Lockerbie were killed. The victims fell across a wide area, including this golf course and the fields beside it. TIME reported at the time that sixty were recovered from the course. I played it on an ordinary spring afternoon nearly 35 years later, and it felt like an ordinary town course. It isn\u2019t, quite, and the history of the course can&#8217;t escape that dreadful night. The town\u2019s memorial garden is at Dryfesdale Cemetery, on the other side of Lockerbie, and worth a prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole18_ygreen1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole18_ygreen1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole18_ygreen1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole18_ygreen1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole18_ygreen1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole18_ygreen1-676x507.jpg 676w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole18_ygreen1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2026-10-28_course_hole18_ygreen1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><strong><em><strong>The 18th green, Home, looking out over Lockerbie and the Annandale valley.<\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I came away harsher than Lockerbie deserves, and I think the clubhouse did most of the talking.
