Glasgow Gailes Links

Glasgow Gailes Links is owned and managed by Glasgow Golf Club, the 9th oldest golf Club in the world. Visitors are welcome to share the golfing traditions and excellent facilities enjoyed by the members.

This resides on a marvellous stretch of links land between Troon and Irvine on the Ayrshire coast. Gailes lies in the heart of Scotland's Ayrshire Golf coast with several celebrated courses within easy driving distance: Royal Troon - 5 miles, Old Prestwick - 8 miles and Turnberry - 35 miles.

At 6903 yards long from the championship tees with a par 71 here is a great test of golf and off the kinder 'medium tees represents a fine test for players of all abilities. It is simply traditional links at its best.

The challenge starts with a steady stream of four consecutive par fours followed by the signature hole, a par five dog-leg with out-of-bounds to the right and a treacherous green that's guarded by strategically placed sand traps. It then lets up with a neat par three, only to bite back with another demanding run five pars four.

With its undulating fairways, fine greens and subtle qualities, it is an honest test of golfing skills in true links fashion.

This is golf in Scotland at its best!
