Can we play it?

Yes. The club asks for a handicap of 28 or less for men and 36 or less for women, or the ability to play to that standard. Getting there is the real work: 3 hours by road from Glasgow, or a 40-minute flight to Campbeltown. Add it to your trip and Scotland Golf Tours requests the tee time for you.

  • Access

    Visitor tee times are available. Set visitor days are not published.

  • The catch

    The journey, and a strict cancellation policy: inside 60 days there's no refund, only a move to another date.

  • Our tip

    Fly Glasgow to Campbeltown and take the day ticket; it's 10 minutes from the airport.
