Located in the
naturally sheltered valley of the Water of Girvan
and overlooked by the rolling South Carrick hills,
this championship length, par 72 parkland course is
in an area of outstanding natural
beauty.
Designed by
renowned architect, Donald Steel, the course is a
testing 6,700 yards from the white tees. Clever use
of the natural contours of the land and the
creation of a number of strategically placed ponds
have created some spectacular holes. Bisected by
the River Girvan, dotted with mature trees and
surrounded by the picturesque landscape of the
Bargany Estate, each of the holes has features that
will remain memorable long after the round has
finished. The greens, too, have been constructed to
a particularly high standard and provide excellent
putting surfaces throughout the year. Again, great
thought has gone into the contouring of these and
some are notoriously difficult to read.
The undulating
nature of the well groomed fairways and the
elevation of some of the greens can make the
estimation of yardages a risky business. Accurate
knowledge of a distance will be of great assistance
to those looking for a chance to score well on this
excellent course
