Arran is a golfer’s paradise, but don’t be thinking these courses are all for novice players - they can offer a challenging game to any low handicapper. 

With stunning scenery on every fairway – you can be driving a tee shot towards Goatfell, playing down towards Holy Isle, or putting out overlooking Kintyre and Drumadoon Point – the Arran golf experience is one that every golfer can enjoy. 

There are seven golf courses on Arran to enjoy, and the Arran Golf Pass can be a great way to experience all the courses.  Most golf courses are accessible daily throughout the year, and although booking isn’t essential it is advisable, especially in the summer months, to ensure you get to make the most of your holiday golf.  Club and trolley hire is also available, and some of the golf clubs have buggies for the less able-bodied – again, best to book beforehand to avoid disappointment.

There are three 18 hole golf courses in Brodick, Lamlash and Whiting Bay, three nine-hole courses in Corrie, Machrie and Lochranza and one unique 12-hole course in Shiskine. Courses generally have good facilities, and nearly all provide excellent catering either on-site or nearby.  Some golf courses allow dogs and children may be able to free when accompanied by a playing adult.
