Bothwell Castle Golf Club was officially opened on the 16th of June 1923 by the Earl of Home (father of Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home).
The course covered a 110-acre site situated between the 13th century castle and the then small village of Bothwell.

In 1960 the club were unable to accept an offer to buy the course, which was purchased by a developer.
By 1962, building proposals were in place resulting in the club losing 7 holes for housing, and having to develop new ground to replace these holes.
This new section of the course opened in 1973.

The club finally purchased the course in 1976 for £70,000, thereby securing its long-term future.

In 2002, a fire resulted in the complete destruction of the clubhouse.
The club decided to build the replacement clubhouse in a new location closer to the centre of the course.

Officially opened in October 2004 by Richard Cole-Hamilton CBE, the Captain of the R&A Golf Club of St Andrews.

In 1997, Lady Member Sheila Beckett produced a book on the history of the Club to commemorate its 75th anniversary.

A flat, 18-hole parkland course, Bothwell is challenging for players at all levels.
The building of the new clubhouse has allowed the club to revise the course layout, with several new tee positions and some new greens.
