Gailes Links
Park's architectural philosophy was very simple: he did not believe in greatly sloping greens or blind shots, but sought to create an exacting test by utilising the exisiting land. He allowed the natural heather and gorse to grow in and make the course a simple but very demanding proposition.
As a known favourite of Scottish great Sandy Lyle, and rated in Golf Monthly's Top 100, Gailes Links is traditional Ayrshire links golf at its best.

A very welcome welcome by the starter and in pro shop - a lovely gift of a Glasgow Golf Club scorecard holder was a very nice touch - greens were in excellent condition but not too quick (one cut and they'd be lightning fast!). Overall, the course was excellent, difficult but not too difficult, would highly recommend.

You walked into history as soon as you entered the magnificent clubhouse, very friendly staff. The course is a gem. A proper links test of golf. Unfortunately they greens had had winter maintenance on them so putting wasn’t easy with the greens having holes all over them. This did not stop the enjoyment and a great day.

Really enjoyed this one, we played late in the afternoon so was like playing millionaires golf having the course nearly to ourselves. The staff were brilliant and made a real effort to make sure we were made welcome. Thanks to the bar staff who kept the bar open until we got back. Great course and set up.
