Stranraer Golf Club

About
Stranraer Golf Club, located in southwest Scotland on the shores of Loch Ryan, is set on gently undulating ground. The parkland course affords exceptional views over the loch to Ailsa Craig, the Isle of Arran and beyond.
Holes to look out for include three par-4s: the third, fifth and 11th holes. On the 403-yard third, a winding burn is crossed three times to reach a green set between a large bunker on the left and a steep bank sloping toward the burn on the right. The 382-yard fifth starts from an elevated tee down to a tight, sloping fairway set between a densely gorsed embankment and two inviting fairway bunkers. No. 11, at 382 yards, requires a demanding tee shot, with trees and out of bounds on the left, then a steep rise to a very fast green.
Stranraer Golf Club was designed in 1950 by the distinguished golf course architect James Braid. It was the last course he designed before he died in 1950.

Cracking course
Will be back to play it again down on holiday was a cracking day course was magic ....The staff at the bar in food was really good canna wait ti go back thumbs up
Great course
Great track with interesting holes to play. Superb views on Loch Ryan and the country side. A must play if you're in the south west of Scotland.
Great course
I stood on every tee and thought this is a nice looking hole. Every hole was different and a good challenge
Very friendly club
Despite storm Francis just passing through the day before the course was in excellent condition with great drainage. Pro kindly let us move our tee forward a day to avoid Francis. Overall, from the warm welcome we received on arrival to the course and every member we came across it was a real pleasure to play here again after almost 20years.
The signature 5th hole is superb and worth the visit on its own, 2 long par 4’s on 16 and 17 make for a tough finish. Greens were good and true, fairways excellent as was the overall condition.
We won’t be waiting another 20years till our next visit.
Excellent course
An excellent course. We had a really enjoyable round on a very picturesque and well kept course. We had to leave immediately after our round so thanks to the starter/ secretary for his friendliness and helpfulness. We didn’t use the club house. Golf tips - bunkers are GUR.during Covid. The two monster par 4s on 16 and 17 are killers at the end of a round !
Beautiful Braid course
Stranraer is a lovely course especially in warm calm weather when we played it. The greens and fairways are in excellent condition and the views superb.
Stranraer
Great course and in great condition. My only issue was pace of play. The group two in front had lost 2/3 holes by the time they reached 4th hole and for most of the round we were sat waiting to hit every shot.
