The Kintyre Course is challenging, untamed Scottish golf at its best, a course to savour from end to end, without worrying too much about your card.

The Kintyre is links golf at its exhilarating best, with it’s undulating greens, glorious fairways, magnificent ocean holes, and all with stunning views of Kintyre, Arran, and the famous Turnberry Lighthouse.

The view that greets you from the brow of Bain's Hill is just one moment among many you'll want to savour again and again. As the short ascent is made from the 7th green, it is as if a theatrical curtain has opened to reveal a stunning set.

The extra elevation multiplies the panorama that stretches in every direction, but the shots, too, are breathtaking. These range from a delicate pitch in a rocky dell on the 8th to a thrilling second along the shoreline on the 9th.

Widely regarded as the Kintyre's signature hole, the 8th, involves a drive from an elevated tee towards the sea, and an unforgettable blind second shot to the green set in a gully by the rocks. Unseen from the tee, hidden by a narrow ridge, the green is in a cove that seems to merge with the craggy beach beyond.

As for the 9th, an invigorating drive offers the choice between adventure and caution, a par 5 set against the background of the renowned symbols of Turnberry, Ailsa Craig and the Lighthouse.
