Western Gailes Golf Club

Beautiful holes, on great land, make it endlessly interesting and challenging.

Geoff Ogilvy (U.S. Open winner)

Overview

Western Galles is a classic links on a narrow stretch of duneland between the Atlantic Ocean and Ayrshire Coast Railway Line. It’s a sublime course with an eclectic mix of holes and three direction changes. Quilted fairways, pot bunkers, snaking burns and well-protected greens provide a fun-filled challenge. Unless ferocious westerly winds spoil the party!
