An iconic Scottish championship links stretching over 7000 yards from the back tees. An original Willie Campbell design dating back to 1891 and redesigned in 2018 by David J. Russell to modern championship standards, this course is now designed to be played in all conditions.
The perfect links terrain is set on unique dunelands bordering on the magnificent Laggan Bay in Islay.
The perfect links terrain
Hebridean views of ocean, peaks of Beinn Bheigeir and the Paps of Jura. Unique dunelands bordering on Laggan Bay in Islay.
Exceptionally maintained, our course captivates all levels of golfer and tests every aspect of the game.
The course offers four sets of tees suitable for all handicaps, and offers generous fairways. But well-placed tee shots are needed to reward players with a chance to attack the pin placements. The inspired run offs, contoured greens and revetted bunkers provide an array of shot selections around the greens, captivating your imagination.
D.J. Russell’s redesign has now fully matured into one of the greatest of Scottish links – the original and still the best setting for a game of ‘gowf’.
