About
Carradale Golf Club, founded in 1906, is regarded by many as one of the Golf Course gems in Scotland yet fairly unknown.
It is located on the east coast of the Kintyre peninsula with panoramic views across the Kilbrannan Sound towards the Isle of Arran. Although only a 9 hole heathland course, each one has its own feature and is very popular with the local and visiting players. It is a tricky course with small greens and natural hazards which can test even the experienced golfer. It has been described as the ‘most sporting nine-hole course in Scotland’. The 6th hole (Pudding Bowl) has recently featured on the Signature Special Hole Golf website. The course measures 4,550 yds and has four tee markers -Gents Medal (white); Gents (yellow); Ladies Medal (red); Ladies Non Medal/Juniors (blue). The par for the course is 65 and the Standard Scratch Score is 62. The course record currently stands at 61.
Children are also made most welcome and during the summer months it is not unusual to see complete families tackling the course.
The Clubhouse provides changing facilities and golf trolleys are available as is club hire for £5 per day from the Greenkeeper. The adjoining Carradale Hotel provides good accommodation and full catering.
In addition, nearby Dunvalanree and Ashbank Hotels similarly also provide good services. There are also a number of B&Bs and self catering. Within easy reach of Carradale golf is also available at Machrihanish, Dunaverty and Tarbert.
