Over the years many changes in layout have been carried out, the most significant of which followed the compulsory purchase of ground in 1949 by the Town Council for house building. Eight holes were lost and new ground had to be obtained.

Change was so frequent in the fifties that it was locally known as the course with 'greens on wheels'.

A number of members have brought great distinction to the Club. John Caven played in the first ever Walker Cup. Dean Robertson won the Scottish Amateur Strokeplay Championship in 1992 and the Scottish Amateur Championship a year later. Barclay Howard was Scottish Strokeplay Champion in 1997. Both Dean and Barclay have represented Great Britain and Ireland in the Walker Cup. All golf enthusiasts will recall the thrilling exploits of Barclay Howard in winning the Silver Medal in the 1997 Open Championship at Royal Troon. On the ladies side Scottish internationalist Donna Jackson has won the club championship on 20 separate occasions

The Club has won the Scottish Club Team Championship on three occasions, these being in 1985 at Helensburgh, in 1991 at Ranfurly Castle and most recently in 1996 at Alloa.
