10 Golf Courses in South Ayrshire That You Shouldn't Miss

April 15, 2022 Lashaunda Abraham

The village of Alloway is home to the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum and the Robert Burns Heritage Trail. Highlights of the trail include Auld Kirk Alloway, Burns Cottage, Burns Monument Gardens and the 13th century Brig O'Doon. South of Alloway along the attractive A719 coastal road is Culzean Castle and Country Park which offers much of interest all ages. En route is an unusual roadside attraction called Electric Brae, a 'magnetic hill' where a car left out of gear will appear to go uphill due to an optical illusion. A few minutes drive from Culzean Castle is the famous Open Golf championship course at Turnberry where the clubhouse is open to the public.

Trump Turnberry Golf Courses

Reviewed By leewagmeister - Newburgh, United States

If ever you make a trip to scotland, the Alisa course at Turnberry is the best of the ones I had the pleasure of playing. Yes it costs more than most courses in Ireland except for St. Andrews but it is worth it. I played 10 courses when i visited Scotland and this was easily the best of them all. Each hole is unique and challenging. The water can be seen from each hole which makes it scenic. There are risk and reward shots. There are undulating greens but fair. The whole experience makes this one of the best courses in the world.

Kilmarnock Barassie Golf Club

Reviewed By franka820 - St. Andrews, United Kingdom

A great mixture of Heathland and Links, influenced in the past by James Braid, make for 27 fine holes at Barassie Links. I played the championship 18 on the day of my visit and after the opening three holes of heather and pines, one makes the short walk to the picturesque par 3 4th hole looking out towards the sea, Ailsa Craig and Arrran beyond. When one returns to golf after enjoying such views, one finds a perched green defended by a running burn on the left and a sloping fall off to the right and behind. A three is well earned! These newer holes run alongside the railway tracks adjacent to near neighbours Dundonald Links and Western Gailes. A great sequence of holes before returning to the heathland variety from the 13th onwards. Everything to keep a golfer entertained and challenged on the Links is to be found at Barassie. Well worth a visit. The greens were in great condition for the time of year and I hope to return to play the course on a fast, firm summers day to get the full experience. @LinksFairways

Brunston Castle Golf Club

Reviewed By markhK7452MW - Norwich, United Kingdom

Loved playing this course, the first time was just after it opened in the '90s when there was a golf boom, very expensive. The last time was October 2018. Unfortunately, as the years went on you could see they were struggling to keep the place going, £11 on Golf Now, driving range looking very tired, although they did keep the course in good shape. I will miss it but on the plus side it did encourage me to explore other courses in the area and there are some great courses.
