Lamlash Golf Course is a delightful Par 64 - 18 hole, golf course. Although
quite short in distance, measuring at
some 4,640 yds, it offers a serious challenge for golfers of all abilities.
An example of the challenge set can be seen in the fact that it has many long
Par 3's, including two measuring over 220 yds. In addition to these lengthy
Par 3's, Lamlash offers many tricky Par 4 holes where an off-centre tee shot
will more than likely never be seen again. Set on the hillside above the
village of Lamlash on the Isle of Arran, there are some spectacular views
overlooking the Clyde Estuary and the Ayrshire coast, including famous courses
such as Royal Troon & Turnberry. With its lush fairways and beautiful greens
Lamlash Golf Course really is a must play course in the west of Scotland.

Brodick Golf Club is a beautiful location for a challenging and enjoyable day's golf. Among the island's 7 golf courses Brodick holds it's own with an unsurpassed view down the first hole of Goatfell in all it's glory.
Brodick is a great course for golfers of all handicaps. From its
opening hole, the longest Par 4 on the course, to its three tough
cross-water Par 3s, a tricky dogleg Par 5, and deceptive Par 4s at
the turn. It presents challenges and obstacles which are great to
take on -- and hopefully conquer!

Although
Lochranza is surrounded by magnificent mountain scenery, the course is
relatively flat parkland. The first section gently falls to a tree
lined burn, then the course broadens out towards the loch. In the sea
field views open out to Lochranza’s medieval castle, with the sea
lapping at its base, and Kintyre across the Kilbrannan Sound.
In this beautiful setting it is common for families of red deer to be seen
grazing near the golf course.
Looking
inland, mountain ridges rise one above another.
Lochranza is a family-friendly pay and play course of 2,332 yards. Clubs hire
and trolley hire are available. The Stags Pavilion provides delicious
home baked food all day, whilst, across the road, the Isle of Arran
Distillery offers whisky-tasting tours and has a café and shop. In the
village you’ll find the Lochranza Hotel where you can buy meals all day
and a different whisky for every day of the year.

Established in 1892, this course features quite stunning views across
the Firth of Clyde and onto Argyle from a number of vantage points and
is often the talking pint of many visiting golfers to an island known
as 'Scotland in Miniature'. The course is quite a challenge, especially
if the wind is its usual self - howling.
Although quite small, you will have to have a certain amount of control
over your ball if you are to put together a decent looking card.
Notable holes include the fourth, where there's a sign by the green
warning of snakes! On a clear day, this is easily one of the most
beautiful golf courses in Scotland and well worth the short trip form
the mainland.
