Belleisle Golf Course - South Ayrshire
Telephone: +44(0)1292 441258
Belleisle, in the main town of Ayr, is far from a course of modest aspiration.
Designed by James Braid in 1927, simply to satisfy an increasingly insatiable demand for the game. It is rather a course of genuine and proven quality, providing an enjoyable challenge to hordes of appreciative golfers who are only too happy to sing its many praises.
Belleisle would probably be the best public course in Scotland if it weren't for those upstarts, St Andrews and Carnoustie. Tour players like to sharpen their pencils before major competitions here! Thats how good it is, and surely one of the few true municipals to host professional tournaments.
Belleisle is a classic and a parkland course of genuine character.
Set in the harmonious woodland of Belleisle Park, its beech tree lined and extra long fairways are interlaced by the serpentine like Curtecan Burn.
There are only two par fours under 400 yards and a cracker of a par three at the 17th. You may not, for some reason manage Turnberry or Troon but whatever you do, dont miss this! The clubrooms are housed within the Belleisle House Hotel where you can find accommodation, bars and restaurants.
