Shiskine Golf & Tennis Club

It's OK if you like 200yd blind par 3s, and only have 2hrs to spare

Played here the morning after a lot of rainfall. It meant the 2nd green was winter greens but the rest of the course was immaculate.

Staff were very friendly on arrival.

Course itself is entertaining, only 12 holes but some interesting ones thrown in. The second is a nice one with a mound in the middle over the burn. The 3rd a blind par 3 onto a platform above you, the 5th a 195yd par 3 into the wind, the 9th an interesting par 5 with a blind shot which could catch longer hitters off the tee.

Some may complain about it being short but it's a good mix of shots to get around.

The greens were immaculate and consistent. Which always makes for a more enjoyable round. Would go back if on Arran again.

A must play course with spectacular views. Pity you can't get a pint in the clubhouse afterwards..

Sadly when I visited the greens had just been treated and made them slow and unpredictable.

Not the best course i have ever played but quirky and fun.= perhaps the most unusual!

If your are nearby fo golf then not to be missed!

A challenging though enjoyable course.

Some high winds to deal with on the day but that didn't take away from the beautiful surroundings.

First time playing. Lots of lovely blind shots all over the course. Greens were being maintained when playing but you can tell they are well looked after. Curse condition was great overall. Proper little golf course.

A place of beauty. Lovely course and layout. Views amazing. Co Siri on excellent and staff very friendly in shop. Good choice of food in clubhouse. Plenty to see nearby.

Got such good recommendations in advance. Wasn’t disappointed. Lovely layout with great scenic views. Some really challenging holes. Course in great condition and very good value for money. Friendly professional and nice staff in tee room. Absolutely recommend a visit

Shiskine is a 12 hole course (of which 7 holes are par 3's) and its standard green fee rate of £25 is a little pricey for only just over 2 hours of play. I got it for £19 which sweetened the deal for sure. Better value for money is offered at the other three 18 hole courses on Arran. There is an 18 hole card but only for members competitions and I was not allowed to play off the white tees, both these aspects were very disappointing. No question the surrounding views are the best on the island as are the greens and general course condition. That being said, those same views can be had without paying a penny by joining the many walkers on the public footpaths lining some of the course. Some great holes with blind tee shots and a real challenge the first few times played. If you are used to long par-72 parkland or links courses you are likely to walk off feeling a little short changed with a lot of energy still in the tank. Definitely worth a visit if you are on the island to tick off the list but once played a few times the novelty wears off. It's not quite the best 'par-3 pitch and putt' style course I've ever played, but it's pretty close.

Great fun course to play though a bit expensive for a 12 hole layout.

Fantastic scenery.

Course was very busy when we played and had to wait on most tees. Lovely place to play golf but the strong wind made things a bit difficult. A must play if going to Arran

This historic world famous 12 hole golf course lived up to all expectations and more.Course has challenges on every hole and demands concentration and solid hitting.

A wonderful experience,

But busy, busy, busy. A bit over priced for 12 holes. No bar when you come off, but soft drinks and food available.

Nice views from the course.

shiskine is a great little golf course for a short game of golf (12 holes) beautiful setting and well laid out.

The. Course is only a 12 hole course, even though it says 18 hole course they only allowed us to play 12. It is picturesque but very short in comparison to most courses.
