Spectacular Scenery and Romantic Seascapes
The west coast of Scotland is a haven of romantic seascapes and spectacular scenery. James Braid worked his magic through these poetic settings to create a wonderful collection of fines courses of great variety and challenge. It was here at Stranraer that he completed his final course.
Scotland's West Coast is famous for its spectacular scenery and romantic seascapes. On this West Coast Trail the talents of James Braid have harnessed both in full measure. The views from Routenburn and West Kilbride across the Firth of Clyde are breathtaking. At Stranraer visitors can play the last course the master architect designed in his long and distinguished career, while at Ayr Belleisle there is to be found one of the finest municipal golf courses in existence.
At Irvine visitors have a chance to relive the famous match between James Braid and Frenchman, Arnaud Massy, against J.H. Taylor and Abe Mitchell christened "The Auld Enemy" against "The Auld Alliance".
