Course:   Carradale

Location:   Carradale, Kintyre

Brief description:  9 holes overlooking the Sound to Arran are simply majestic. Limited parking at the club but plenty street parking in the village. There is an honesty box at the small but delightful 'dry' clubhouse.

What to expect of the course: Small, often elevated, greens make this short course challenging. Equally, the elevated tees enhance the already wonderful views and encourage you to go for greens on the short par 4's, when perhaps caution would be wise. The OOB on the 9th/18th is more popular than it should be - you have been warned!

What to expect of the overall visit: Carradale is a village and course you should visit. Its off the beaten track and accessed via partially single track roads to the village. The journey and commitment is well worth the time and effort which can be rounded off with a pint in the adjacent hotel, or if you have the time, stay there and play more than once.
