Course Details
| Course Name: Dunskey Holes: 18 Yardage: 5908 SSS: 68 |
| Links type - set on cliffs above the picturesque village of Port Patrick. Views of North Channel, the Irish Coast, Mull of Kintyre and Isle of Man. Voted no.1 holiday course in South of Scotland by Golf World - always a test , even for the low handicap golfer, because of the wind factor. The very testing par 3 namely the 4th, 7th(the best) and the 11th. The outward half is the most difficult, shots can be made up on the most difficult, shots can be made up on the inward nine. The 13th is the most picturesque - downhill with a back drop of cliffs, hills and Sandell Bay. For an appreciation and independent view of this course please see golfer reviews.

| Course Name: Dinvin Holes: 9 Yardage: 1504 SSS: 27 |
| All par 3's , shortest is 87 yards and the longest 226 yards. This is a very tricky course set in an area of undulating land with rocky outcrops - an excellent test to 'sharpen up ' the short game. The greens are fairly small. Many a person hit their first shot on the course and return years later to play the Dunskey course.
