On the island of Arran off the west coast of Scotland, only an
hour by ferry from the mainland, is to be found one of the most
unusual and great hidden gems in the wide world of golf. The
Shiskine Golf Club at Blackwaterfoot is famous not for any
championships that have been played there, for there have been none
of any great importance, but for the fact that it is 12 holes only
and remains as one of the truly unspoiled seaside links still
surviving. Here we find real golf; the golf played by Old Tom
Morris and Willie park and Willie Fernie who laid out this gem.
Virtually every hole has a blind shot either from the tee or for
the approach to the green and sometimes both.
