Comments: Inspiring view across the River Clyde from some of the higher vantage points on the course, especially the 2nd and 18th tees... Mature parkland setting with moder­ately tight, tree-lined fairways. .. Excellent fairways and greens which drain extremely well... I'm taking a chain­saw on my next visit to chop down the lovely tree that sits right in the middle of the 14th fairway! ... Expected the wind to be a bigger factor but the holes are mainly well protected by the trees.

Comments: Nine-holer overlooking the Isle of Arran... Good reviews. .. So difficult... Rough terrain and Lilliputian greens - very uncomfortable... Pay it a visit.
