Belleisle Golf Course

Overview

Belleisle is a classic and a parkland golf course set in Belleisle Park, where beech tree lined and extra long fairways are interlaced by the Curtecan Burn.The course opens with two relatively short par fives, and finishes with a par five which is anything but. There are only two par fours under 400 yards and a cracker of a par three at the 17th.

A true test for golfers, tour players often sharpen their pencils here before major competitions! Thats how good it is, and one of the few true municipals to host professional tournaments.The clubrooms are housed within the Belleisle House Hotel where you can find accommodation, bars and restaurants.

Nearby attractions. Non-golfers can enjoy miles of sandy beaches, interspersed with parts of rocky outcrops. With spectacular views and sunsets, the Firth of Clyde, the Isle of Arran and Ailsa Craig (a bird sanctuary) enjoy mild weather due to the West Coast Gulf Stream.
