Glasgow Hills rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Check the daily wind direction before starting, as it dictates the difficulty of the climb back toward the clubhouse. Always take an extra club when playing to uphill greens to ensure you clear the front-side bunkers. Use the generous fairways to find flat spots, as uneven lies are frequent on the rolling slopes.
