Shiskine Golf & Tennis Club

Booked on Golfnow as 18 holes of golf but the course has only 12 holes and you can only play 12 or pay again to play another 12.

On arrival we were advised by the pro that there was “some maintenance “ going on on the course. On arrival at the first green we discovered that the greens had been hollow timed that morning and by the time we got to the 2nd green we had to wait to play our approach shots as the tractor dumped a full load of sand over the green.the theme for the remainder of the round was the tractor got there before us with the sand. Only after we played our final hole did the greenkeeping staff arrive to brush it in.

Interesting layout , beautiful views from course but round spoiled by course maintenance.

Beautiful 12 hole course in great condition with spectacular views.

Course was in excellent condition and proved to be very testing. A few blind holes added to the challenge.

Shiskine would be our priority visit when we return to Arran

This is an absolutely beautiful course. The views are stunning! The golf is challenging. The shop is great and the Tee Room is excellent!

3rd time playing this absolute gem. Quirky layout with some excellent par 3’s and some really interesting holes. Certainly unique with 12 holes but a must play in my opinion. Greens were not in the best shape due to time of year and little growth, but didn’t spoil a great day.

Don't let any negative reviews about the course conditions fool you. If you want to play an immaculate links, pay the big bucks at Royal Troon or Trump Turnberry. This is golf's greatest little gem. It might be scruffy around the edges, but that's to be expected for the green fees charged. All 12 holes are unique and stunningly beautiful with the backdrop over the water never leaving your sight. The third hole up and over the wall and the fourth hole playing down off of it might be the two greatest back-to-back par 3s on the planet.

Played this course a few times now and I really enjoy it. I’ve seen the greens in better condition but overall a great course to play

We really enjoyed our round at this course. Beautiful seaviews and very interesting holes. Each one was a unique challenge. Will definately plan on playing here when we are in the area again.

Looked forward to playing Shishkine as it comes highly rated. At £30 for 12 holes quite pricey so we booked via Golf Now for £19.

The professional made us feel very guilty for booking via Golf Now as the club does not get the money. He went on at some length about it. We are playing golf every day so Golf Now helps keep the overall cost down.

The course itself was in a fairly poor condition and probably half the holes you are playing blind. Not an enjoyable round and we won’t be back. Lamlash and Whiting Bay far better courses and cheaper too.

Very welcoming staff so friendly. The course is quirky to say the least. The dry spring has obviously inhibited grass growth which is a pity. However, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Shiskine.

Have played Shiskine many times over the years and always enjoy my golf there , however found that the fairways where very poor in places and greens even though looked great where really slow , hopefully they can get the course back to its finest

Only 12 holes but a fantastic variety of different challenges.

Played this course with my little brother while on Arran over the weekend and it blew us both away with its quirkiness and excellent playing conditions. From the very first hole it just wowed us both from blind shots to immaculate rolling greens. Every hole is different and every shot must be well thought out. We loved the experience from start to finish, if your over in Arran and you love golf with panoramic views throughout your round look no further. Fantastic fun.
