Skelmorlie Golf Club

This James Braid course is a very challenging 18 hole moorland layout and will provides all standards of golfers a very enjoyable experience. The course is located above the village of Skelmorlie in North Ayrshire and enjoys some stunning scenery, with sea and mountains to the north and west, and wild moorland to the east. There are seven par 3’s to be found on the course and playing these well is often the key to a good score. The rest of the holes provide a mix of playing challenges, including accuracy from the tee and sensible course management choices. When the greens are in their prime they are some of the best in the area to play on. Skelmorlie is well known for the standard of its greens and it is usual for the greens and the course to be in good playing condition year round, and even after heavy rain the course is nearly always playable fairly quickly, even when other courses are not. The eighteen holes fall naturally into three groups – The bottom or first five, the upper eight or top part of the course, and the final last five in the centre of the course and with each loop returning conveniently close to the clubhouse.
