probably the best known course on Arran. It is a very charming and
unique 12

lots of blind shots. There are some great holes, including the par 3
3rd called the Crows Nest and the 7th, which is
called the Himalayas.

short course and also fairly hilly. There is
an
excellent
Tearoom there.

a flat 18 hole
parkland seaside course with nice views towards Goatfell &
Brodick castle. It has some great holes including 2 over the Rosa burn,

a hilly 18 hole course
that
will test all levels of golf. There are
some great holes (all are very different), with some extremely
difficult par 3's off the yellow tees. If you have a single figure
handicap, then you should play this course. It has an excellent
clubhouse (best on the Island) with a great out look over the 18th
green and up the 1st hole.

with lovely views over the Firth of Clyde. Some very interesting holes,
with a must see 17th green & a very strong finishing hole where
par is an excellent result. You are assured a warm welcome.
14th hole at Whiting Bay
18th hole is very tough, and you may have your chip shot blocked by a
tree!
