A short but testing track designed by Willie Fernie in 1901, New Cumnock is a pleasant parkland with views out across the Loch o'th' Lowes and the Southern Uplands.
The par-3 eighth is a genuine showstopper here, with its hidden green protected by woodland to the left, bunkers to the front, and a burn that meanders round the back.
At £10 for a day ticket, it's an absolute steal, and a perfect stop-off for a quick nine if you're making your way up to the Ayrshire coast and all the golf riches that journey brings.
