West Kilbride Golf Club is situated on the Ayrshire coast, with spectacular views across the Firth of Clyde to the beautiful island of Arran.
James Braid, five times Open Champion and one of Scotland’s greatest golf course architects, has twice had a hand in the design of the West Kilbride layout. He made changes to the original Old Tom Morris 9-hole course in 1914 then, after competing in the Open at nearby Troon in 1923, suggested further alterations which were brought into being two years later. West Kilbride Golf Course is a hidden gem on the West Coast of Scotland.
