Belleisle, located just south of the town of Ayr, is widely regarded as one of the very best municipal courses in Scotland.

At just under 6500 yards the course which is set in a mature parkland estate provides a challenge for the very best of golfers but is balanced with relatively forgiving fairways. The greens are very well maintained and the course has a manicured feel not generally associated with a public course.

As well as being host to many Scottish Tournaments, both amateur and professional, the course will also be one of the four host courses for the inaugural Ayrshire Golf Classic in the year 2000 sitting alongside Barassie, Bogside and the Ailsa Course at Turnberry. The course neighbours Seafield which at under 5500 yards provides an excellent partner for a not too tiring day's golf.

Green fees are around £20 and it is part of South Ayrshire's Golf Coast discount scheme where a three day unlimited golf pass will cost £60.

Clubhouse facilities are limited although food is served in the adjacent Belleisle House Hotel. Belleisle offers a superb itinerary addition for weekend golf and can be complementary to Ayrshire's traditional links courses.
