Obviously, Carradale Golf Club had to be mentioned as it is one of the most distinctive golf facilities in the country. Even without the historical weight of its counterparts, also discussed here. Yet, its history dates back to 1906. A four and a half hour drive from Edinburgh (about 170 miles) Carradale is in a premium location. It stands on the Kintyre peninsula, facing the island of Arran and the Firth of Clyde, belonging to Argyll and Bute.
Although it is a nine-hole facility, the course can be quite demanding. The greens are relatively small, and there
are natural hazards that you’ll need to avoid. The ruins of the Airds Castle help to compose a charming golfing scenario.
