Kirkhill Golf Club is a parkland golf course located in Cambuslang, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. The club was founded in 1910 from some former members of Cambuslang Golf Club. It is situated close to the Whitlawburn residential neighbourhood, and is adjacent to the A749 road between the Glasgow urban area and East Kilbride on higher ground; much of the course has panoramic views over the city.
The Club house was built as a dwelling house, just in case the new venture did not work out. The founders certainly had some vision, energy and only four years after the founding of the club they arranged an exhibition golf match which was held in June 1914. The legendary golfer Harry Vardon, 6 times Open champion played with George Duncan who also won the Open in 1920.
