Girvan Golf Club Ayrshire

Girvan shares the same stunning views towards Ailsa Craig in the Firth of Clyde as its more illustrious neighbour, Turnberry. The course was designed by James Braid, after whom the first hole was named, and has had few alterations since its inception in 1902.

As early as 1751 there is a record of the gentlemen of the district gathering there to play on the coastal links. A golf club existed in the 1860s, and the Prestwick professional, John Hunter, laid out the town’s first proper course for them on Stair Park and the Green, on the seafront.
