Described as a pugnacious little course in some literature It has been described as a hidden gem as its holes change from parkland to semi parkland to links and back again.

The 5th hole is perhaps the most scenic with the backdrop of the Ailsa Craig, an extinct volcanic rock in the Clyde Estuary and half way between Glasgow And Belfast and commonly refereed to by locals as Paddys Milestone. Access to the course is easy and well signposted before entering the town of Girvan.
