Driving off from the first tee beside the clubhouse there is a gradual incline to the green. From there you can enjoy magnificent views down the Firth of Clyde to the Isles of Bute and Arran, and, in the distance, the gannet Ailsa Craig rising out of the sea off the Ayrshire coast at Turnberry.

The fifth is an excellent par three, while the sixth and seventh hold panoramic views over the Firth to the east and Cowal Hills to the west.
