A 27-hole traditional links course founded in 1887 , and wrapped up with gorse , heather and pine trees . It ’ s a stunning combination of colours , enhanced by paths of crushed seashells that lead you ever onwards to crisp , tight fairways and sleek greens . The course is enclosed between two railway lines but it remains a seaside links with the winds ever-present . There are plenty of hollows , bumps , testing pot hole bunkers and a variety of burns , ditches and streaks of deep gorse . In places it feels quite wild … with the newest nine holes possessing the strongest links traits , which is not surprising since they nestle up against both Western Gailes and Dundonald Links . The club embraces visitors from around the world and when you play here you will join the likes of Jose Maria Olazabal , the Molinari brothers , and Graeme McDowell in doing so . Investigate the club ’ s Walker Cup contributions in the clubhouse .
