Lochwinnoch is set in a quiet country conservation village and is a beautiful 6, 025-yard hillside course with commanding views of the surrounding Renfrewshire and North Ayrshire countryside. Here, playing to your handicap is indeed a test.

The superbly prepared greens and lush fairways offer ideal conditions for shot making.

The signature 424-yard dogleg first hole, with out of bounds running all of its east side and a 50-yard long three tier elevated green, has been voted one of the most challenging and satisfying opening holes in the country.
