Prestwick St Nicholas Golf Club

Challenging links course with magnificent views to the neighbouring island of Arran. The first twelve holes play along the beach and into the prevailing wind, which can make for a bit of a slog despite the short yardage. The narrow fairways require precise positioning, and the rough is punishing. An old water-filled quarry comes into play on the seventh and eighth holes.

Location: From Prestwick town centre take road for Ayr. At the first set of traffic lights turn right into Grangemuir road, proceed under the railway bridge. Course is on the left.
