A Fantasy World of Links Golf

A Warm Welcome to Dunaverty

The winding drive on the B824 from Campbeltown, through hills of exquisite rolling farmland, often with the sea in view beyond. Unlike the dramatic approach to some Scottish links, the charms of Dunaverty Golf Club are not readily apparent. There is a small car park next to a tidy, unpretentious clubhouse. Beyond the fence, you see what appears to be pleasant and hilly pasture land, with a couple of flagsticks in the distance. It is an unassuming view, yet there is a pervading sense that perhaps something special is to come. — Jim Hartsell, author of A Round of Scottish Courses.

The Course

Like many great links courses, the first and last holes often serve to get the golfer away from the clubhouse and out to the best golfing ground. The 1st hole at Dunaverty follows this tradition. It is a welcoming and straightforward uphill 301-yard par 4 which should yield a birdie opportunity - if the livestock cooperates. After climbing the hill to the 1st green, the mighty world of Dunaverty starts to reveal itself in earnest. The vast ocean, Dunaverty Rock and even the northern coast of Ireland are visible on a stunningly clear day.

BOOK A ROUND

  • I wanted to keep this review short and sweet – just like the golf course itself – but there is far too much good stuff going on at Dunaverty to make that even a remote possibility.

  • It's the way it makes you feel when you are out there—the variety of shots, and the more you play it , the more you'll love it.

The Club

Founded in 1889, Dunaverty Golf Club grew from the vision of a small circle of farmers and townsfolk from Southend, bound by a shared love of the land and the game. Their original course, a full eighteen holes, stretched out across the burn where today’s 15th now lies, shaped by wind, earth, and quiet ambition. In the years before the Second World War, the course was thoughtfully reimagined and extended, and a humble clubhouse found its place behind the Wallace Cottages, becoming a warm heart for the club and its community.
