Golf in Ayrshire
Ayrshire offers some of the finest golf courses in Scotland, including open venues of Royal Troon and Turnberry. Many of the private courses offer visitor greenfees at reasonable prices.

South Ayrshire Council run eight golf courses. There are three in Ayr, three in Troon along with Girvan and Maybole. We are only a 15 minute drive from Belleisle, which is in beautiful park surroundings in Ayr and is noted as the best council owned course in Scotland, after St Andrews and Carnousitie.

The area also has important connections with Scotland's National Bard, Robert Burns, who was born in Alloway, close to Ayr. There is an excellent visitor centre, part of the Burns National Heritage Park, along with a museum housed in the cottage where he was born. Ghost tours can be arranged around 'Alloway's Auld Haunted Kirk', which Burns describes in his famous work, Tam o'Shanter. The delightful Brig O'Doon House is nearby and offers a very reasonably priced afternoon tea.
