Millport

About this course

This heathland course is situated above the town of Millport. The club was formed in 1888 and at the time was known as The Cumbrae Golf Club. This was later changed to avoid confusion with Comrie Golf Club in Perthshire. In 1913 the well-known golf course architect, James Braid, was invited to lay out the course "to suit the modern game". The course measures just short of 6000yards, has a par of 68 with SSS of 69 and demands a full repertoire of shot making - there are several blind shots to test golfers skills. Out of bounds comes into play in the first 7 holes, and at the 2nd out of bounds faces you right and left.
