Founded in 1897, Western Gailes has a reputation as one of the most challenging links courses in Scotland.

Measuring close to 7,000 yards from the tips, Western Gailes is an established tournament venue, having welcomed both professionals and amateurs alike for Open Championship Qualifying, The Curtis Cup, The PGA Championship and the Scottish Amateur Championship. From the excellent clubhouse, visitors will look out to the Ailsa Craig and the peaks of Arran.

The course is wedged between the railway and the shoreline, and both are frequently in play, as the golf course is no more than two holes wide at any point. Harry Vardon negotiated the numerous pot bunkers and meandering burns to win the first major at Western Gailes in 1903, and since then the golf course has been lauded as one of the purest and demanding tests of links golf.
