Last checked

Can we play it?

Yes, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (Tuesdays only in August). Every player needs a handicap index of 18.4 or less, checked when you arrive. Add it to your trip and Scotland Golf Tours requests the tee time for you.

  • Access

    Visitors on Tuesdays and Wednesdays; August is Tuesday only. 2027 visitor seasons run March to November. Tee times run until no later than 5 hours before sunset.

  • The catch

    Handicap index 18.4 or less for everyone, verified at check-in, and a strict jacket-and-tie clubhouse dress code after 11am.

  • Our tip

    Book as a full four-ball: the club fills every tee time, so threes and singles get paired with strangers. And pack a jacket and tie for the Dining Room lunch that comes with your green fee.
