Golf Courses
in Ayrshire, Dumfries & Galloway
South
West Scotland is famous for its championship and outstanding golf
courses.
Prestwick Golf Club is very high on many golfer’s wish list.
The ‘quirky dinosaur’ might not be up to the modern
championship standards, but it is one of its treasures where the
first Open Championship was held on October 7th 1860.
Royal Troon is an exceptional links course and hosted the 2004
Open.
Turnberry (to host the 2006 Seniors and the 2009 Open) offers one
of the most superior links courses in the world, with its amazing
club house, spectacular seascape backdrop and Colin Montgomerie
Golf Academy.
For the more casual golfer there are courses to suit everyone’s
pace to a tee! South of Cosses offers some scenic challenges at
Stanraer and Port Patrick (Dunskey).

Fishing & Angling in South West Scotland
Fly
Fishing, Coarse Fishing, Sea Fishing, whatever your preference,
South West Scotland's coastline offers numerous river, loch and
sea fishing opportunities.
From the shoreline or from a boat, Sea Angling is relatively free
from restriction or cost, except for the normal rules of conduct
and the hire of the boat.
Naturally for the protection of the environment and fish stock,
most inland waters are controlled by local clubs or associations
and therefore permit fees to be paid and rules to be complied with.
