Can we play it?

Yes. The Ailsa is open to hotel residents and non-residents aged 16 and over, and no handicap certificate is required. The resort prices tee times by date and time, and non-residents pay far more for summer mornings. Add it to your trip and Scotland Golf Tours requests the tee time for you.

  • Access

    Resident and non-resident golfers, subject to availability.

  • The catch

    Price. Non-residents were being quoted £1,000 a head before 1pm and £650 from 1pm in summer 2026; hotel guests pay less, but only on the dates of their stay.

  • Our tip

    If you're paying non-resident rates, take an afternoon tee time or a shoulder-season date, or stay at the hotel and book golf for the nights you're there.
