Girvan

Great short course that gives you a challenge with your club distance, play the first 8 holes well you will stand a chance of a good score.

We booked through golf now and we’re informed that if we cancelled less than 24 hours before our tee time we would lose our money,we traveled down on the Sunday morning and it was raining but we had to play,there wasn’t another golfer on the course,there was a competition on half an hour after us and I reckon it was cancelled,we got absolutely soaked,the policy of losing your money if you don’t play it absolutely scandalous,there should be a percentage not losing your full payment as if we had lost 50% of our fee we would not have played in the conditions but felt we had to

I’ve played this course twice this year and I’ve absolutely loved it.
It’s just such a fun course. Kicks off with “The puddle on the left” (The Firth of Clyde) Then gifts you 7 more lynxy holes which can be challenging in the wind. Then it’s across the road for 10 more parkland holes where you can go for it! If I’ve enjoyed this course in gusty and showery dark conditions can’t wait to play it in the calm sunshine!

Overall enjoyed playing the course which was links for the fist eight holes and inland for the rest.like all links courses the fairways had suffered a bit from recent hot spell however the greens had maintained a good grass covering. The inland holes were well maintained.a good course to play for holiday golf and challenging par 3s for anyone

Great mix of coastal links and parkland course. Links was interesting but playable for an average player like me. Parkland course in good condition but some tricky greens. Very enjoyable. Friendly staff at starters hut + glad I could hire a trolley

Girvan has an interesting and quirky layout. The first 8 holes are typical links. The remainder are more like a parkland track. The greens were slow but well cared for. The rest of the course was burned out because of the long spell of hot dry weather. As a result the distances were tricky to judge. A very enjoyable day and I will certainly plan to return.

First 8 links holes great beautiful vies out to sea them over thy e road to complete on parkland course fantastic day will be back

First 8 holes are links style with incredible views of Ailsa Craig and Arran and very enjoyable if not a little short followed by a cross over to parkland. Some really nice challenging holes, in particular the 17th. Very friendly staff and players all round the course. Never felt in rushed or held up so pace felt about right. Club house was closed at the time but would recommend this course to anyone for a nice quiet round.

Very enjoyable course being half links half parklands. The first 8 holes just have spectacular views, the actual holes on the first 8 are just ok holes i think the views are what make them, then across the road for the parklands last 10 holes. I actually prefer the last 10 holes but then you dont have the sea views but overall a very enjoyable course.

1st time played really a good course in great nick ... weather was good also a bit of wind but could not fault it ... starter was very pleasant and helpful only thing was the clubhouse was closed a shame ...

Pace of play from a three ball playing in front of us was horrendous. We had two, two balls just in front of us and one of them gave up after 16 and we were still held up for the last two holes. Course itself is pretty good. Front 8 is a links course back 10 is a parkland course. Very short if we weren’t held up I reckon we could have been round it in 2 hours 45. Some hard little holes though. Well worth the visit and would return. Not sure it is worth the £20 South Ayrshire want for it (just because it is so short) when you look at other courses you can pick up on golf now for that price.

Good course, was superb condition with staff doing a great job, a little slow but overall good pace, pity clubhouse shut, but with the current situation understandable, would recommend and would certainly play again

A gem of a wee course and well worth the money. Only thing that faults it is clubhouse not open but heard someone is taking over it next month so hopefully it will be open for refreshments etc. First 8 holes are links with wonderful views, rest of the course is inland and in great condition. Not the longest of courses but tricky on some holes. Will definitely be back soon.

The first 8 holes of this course were great links type holes by the windy Irish Sea! They were thoroughly enjoyable even in the wet and windy conditions. All 8 holes were in excellent condition given the amount of recent rain.

The second half of the round (10 holes) are parkland and are located over the road from the first half of the course. It was much wetter over here but the greens still played true.

Holes 9-14 were pretty monotonous before finishing with some trickier holes on 15-18.

A decent short course and still worth a visit if you’re in the area.
