Golf courses in North Ayrshire

North Ayrshire is the quieter, lesser-known counterpart to the more famous South Ayrshire, and that is precisely what makes it so appealing. Less crowded, lower greenfees and links courses along the Firth of Clyde that more than hold their own in quality against the big names in the region. Leading Courses favourites include Western Gailes Golf Club and Dundonald Links Golf Club. Western Gailes is a classic links that is regularly used as a qualifying venue for The Open — pure and unpolished in the finest possible way. Dundonald Links is more modern but no less challenging, set along the coast with the typical Ayrshire wind making every round different. The Isle of Arran is a chapter in itself. The island is reachable by ferry from Ardrossan and has seven courses each with their own character. Shiskine Golf & Tennis Club with its twelve holes is the best known and most remarkable — a course you'll find nowhere else. North Ayrshire is accessible via Glasgow Prestwick Airport, half an hour from most courses in the region. Because after a round on the Ayrshire coast, a glass of malt whisky at the nineteenth hole tastes just a little better.
