The Irvine Golf Club, established in 1887 and one of Scotland's golfing gems, is a fine example of the true links game. It was over the links land of Scotland that the game of golf was born and still today the true links experience is unparalleled the world over.
Regularly used by the R&A as a Final Open Qualifying Course the Irvine Golf Club also hosts and co-hosts other prestigious championships. The Irvine Golf Club offers a traditional links challenge, which owes much of its present day character to the course design of the great James Braid. One of Scotland’s most celebrated course designers, James Braid created a legacy of distinctive courses, characterised by their great variety and interesting use of natural assets.
Set in a seaside location, the neighbouring Gulf Stream ensures year round links golf, whilst the romantic peaks of Arran present a stunning back to the landscape.
Opening Hours: The bar and catering service: 11.00am - 10.00pm in the summer (and at dusk in spring and autumn).
The professional shop: 9.00am - 6.00pm.
