A links with two names

You can call this links Kilmarnock or Barassie and get away with it. It's located adjacent to both Dundonald and Western Gailes, so it sometimes gets lost in the shuffle with such a competitive local golf scene. The club, which has produced a solid line of Walker Cup players over the years, continues to tweak its routing, with some solid changes in recent years. Watch out for a burn on several early holes. Overall, a solid choice among a deep tier of more affordable local clubs you can play in Ayrshire.
