Bute Golf Club

Close to the sands of Stravannan Bay on Bute's west coast, Bute Golf Club is a nine-hole course that benefits from its delightful location in a rural setting, with the dramatic mountains of Arran providing a stirring backdrop. The club opened in 1888, making it the oldest on the island of Bute.  The course, although only nine holes, offers an array of challenges, from the tricky second over the wall to negotiating the burn at the short third and the hillocks at the eighth. Indeed, this is a wonderful little tester of a course amid stunning surroundings. The course may be short at a 4994 yards for two laps, but its variety provides members and visitors with a genuinely unique challenge.
