Lanark Golf Club occupies the Common Moor where the club was founded on 4 October 1851, making it one of golf's oldest clubs and, according to the club, the world's oldest inland course still playing on its original ground. The first course had six holes. Old Tom Morris was engaged in 1897 to create an 18-hole layout, and James Braid made further substantial alterations in 1927.
The modern course is an 18-hole, par-70 moorland layout. Published ratings list the blue tees at about 6,438 yards with a 71.6 rating and 128 slope. The club purchased the course from the local district council in 1995, having previously owned only the clubhouse land.

Old Tom Morris was paid £3 and 10 shillings in 1897 to extend the course to 18 holes. James Braid supervised further new-hole construction in 1927. The club purchased the course itself from the local District Council in 1995.
The modern course remains on its original moorland ground, with the Morris and Braid work still forming the basis of the layout.
