Founded in 1889, Lamlash is Arran's oldest golf course. It was started by a group of locals with the backing of Arran Estate and the Duke and Duchess of Montrose, after raising funds by organizing trips on the Clyde Paddle Steamer "Neptune". It began life as a nine hole course and the first clubhouse was a teak ships' cabin/ wheelhouse.

In more recent times, it has had a makeover, with refurbishment and extension to the clubhouse facilities so that it can cater for the most discerning touring golf enthusiast, with excellent locker room facilities for gents, ladies and juniors.

The clubhouse overlooks the magnificent 18th green - perhaps the finest finishing hole on the island, set against the magnificent backdrop of the Arran landscape. If good food is required, Caddies Restaurant will supply it.
