Gailes Links
Park's architectural philosophy was very simple: he did not believe in greatly sloping greens or blind shots, but sought to create an exacting test by utilising the exisiting land. He allowed the natural heather and gorse to grow in and make the course a simple but very demanding proposition.
As a known favourite of Scottish great Sandy Lyle, and rated in Golf Monthly's Top 100, Gailes Links is traditional Ayrshire links golf at its best.

You walked into history as soon as you entered the magnificent clubhouse, very friendly staff. The course is a gem. A proper links test of golf. Unfortunately they greens had had winter maintenance on them so putting wasn’t easy with the greens having holes all over them. This did not stop the enjoyment and a great day.

Really enjoyed this one, we played late in the afternoon so was like playing millionaires golf having the course nearly to ourselves. The staff were brilliant and made a real effort to make sure we were made welcome. Thanks to the bar staff who kept the bar open until we got back. Great course and set up.

A little more forgiving than some of the other courses in the area. Nevertheless, many very interesting holes and extremely well presented. The greens and fringes were superb.

Very windy and it rained for almost all of the round. Conditions were hard but the greens were true and staff very friendly.
