A very interesting course

I have played this course before and paid £35 for it. It’s only a 12 hole course, meaning it seems quite expensive compared to other local courses. It’s a very interesting course, with a number of scenic and blind shots. The third hole was closed, which was the iconic crows nest hole, which obviously made it 11 holes. No mention of money back or playing an extra hole. I was one of four people on the course, so it shouldn’t have been a problem playing an extra hole
Worth playing but be mindful it’s on 12 holes

Indian summer

I was welcomed at reception by a delightful young man who gave me all the details required about the course which is a quaint 12 hole course with some stunning holes and views ,not the most challenging course but definitely worth a visit as are all the courses on Arran ,as every time we visit it seems to be lovely weather and always fantastic views

Interesting Layout

Booked on Golfnow as 18 holes of golf but the course has only 12 holes and you can only play 12 or pay again to play another 12.
On arrival we were advised by the pro that there was “some maintenance “ going on on the course. On arrival at the first green we discovered that the greens had been hollow timed that morning and by the time we got to the 2nd green we had to wait to play our approach shots as the tractor dumped a full load of sand over the green.the theme for the remainder of the round was the tractor got there before us with the sand. Only after we played our final hole did the greenkeeping staff arrive to brush it in.
Interesting layout , beautiful views from course but round spoiled by course maintenance.

Stunning twelve holes

Do not miss the chance to play this course if you’re on the island.
Each hole presents its own challenges, whether it’s a long par 3 links on the coast or a deceptive par 5 which will have you guessing about going for the green or laying up.
The setting is stunning being set on the coast with fantastic views over to Kintyre and its coastline.
Being sandy the ball runs well and the greens are well kept. Fairways are firm and the rough can be punishing so keep it straight.
A thoroughly enjoyable course which you should not miss the chance to play.

Challenging course

Course was in excellent condition and proved to be very testing. A few blind holes added to the challenge.
Shiskine would be our priority visit when we return to Arran

Shiskine.

3rd time playing this absolute gem. Quirky layout with some excellent par 3’s and some really interesting holes. Certainly unique with 12 holes but a must play in my opinion. Greens were not in the best shape due to time of year and little growth, but didn’t spoil a great day.

Shiskine am

Course was in good company condition for November, maybe a reminder for folks to repair pitch marks would benefit the greens; I was endeavouring to repair 3 to 4 on each green and that doesn’t take long tbf👍

The most fun course in the world

Don't let any negative reviews about the course conditions fool you. If you want to play an immaculate links, pay the big bucks at Royal Troon or Trump Turnberry. This is golf's greatest little gem. It might be scruffy around the edges, but that's to be expected for the green fees charged. All 12 holes are unique and stunningly beautiful with the backdrop over the water never leaving your sight. The third hole up and over the wall and the fourth hole playing down off of it might be the two greatest back-to-back par 3s on the planet.
