This heathland course is so beautifully situated above the
town of Millport that even the highest handicap golfer can take pleasure
at least in the surroundings. 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 6000 yards and has a par of 68 with SSS
of 69. The golf course is no monster in length, but demands a full repertoire
of shot making - there are several blind shots to test golfers skills,
and anyone playing to their handicap will be flushed by the warm glow
of achievment. The course commands panoramic views over the Firth including
Ailsa Craig to the south, the Mull of Kintyre, Isle of Bute and Arran.

There is a practice area where you can "warm up" before tackling the course.
There is a practise putting green, a chipping green and practise bunker
and a larger area for longer irons. Gents, Ladies and Golfing Societies
are made very welcome at Millport, where there are full bar and catering
facilities. Our PGA professional Haldane Lee has a well stocked Pro Shop
where you may purchase Millport logo accessories and clothing.
