Ballochmyle Golf Club

Opened as a nine-hole course in 1937 on part of the Ballochmyle Estate, where Robert Burns wrote 'The Bonny Lass o' Ballochmyle' and 'Farewell to the Braes o' Ballochmyle', this tree-lined parkland course in the heart of Burns Country now extends to 18 holes and a par of 70. Tight, well-maintained fairways and tricky greens make it a fine inland test only 12 miles from Royal Troon and Turnberry, with the 497-yard par-5 18th, 'Waurslin Hame', its closing highlight.
