About
Girvan Golf Course is one of eight fine courses owned and managed by South Ayrshire Council. Although a municipal course it provides the only golf in Girvan and there is a thriving independent local club with the members having facilities within the municipal clubhouse.
The course, lying on the northern outskirts of the town, is unusual in that it is divided into two distinct parts. The opening eight holes are pure links, immediately adjacent the coastline, and the second ten holes are parkland. This latter part has the added problem of the river, from which the town takes its name, winding through the land. Care should be taken on the ninth tee, as this hole is named after the gentleman who stepped back to admire a good drive only to take an unscheduled dip in the river.

Golfer Reviews
Cracking course, great design.
First time played at Girvan, lovely, well designed course, George is a very friendly & welcoming staff member, very helpful at the start. Loved the course as I found it quite tricky. Will definitely book again.
A hidden gem
Very friendly staff.
Excellent course condition
Spent a bit of time trying to find the next tee box.
Altogether a great day golfing.
Good value
Nice course with beautifull seafront holes
Greens are in perfect condition
The inland holes are good
Very low greenfee
Wee gem
Short course but laid out well. Great value and has a Par 3 17th that is just such a challenge. Greens excellent.. Great veiws also.
I'm sure it's great in summer
A nice course, especially the first 8 holes. There was a good bit of casual water on the back 9 but it held up surprisingly well. It's not the longest but good fun and varied holes
Great Course
Played in Feb and March and for the time of year it’s in great condition.
Staff always friendly and welcoming
Can’t comment on club house as it’s winter
Great value for money
2 courses in one
Lovely course. First 8 holes are classic links with views across to Arran. Gorgeous. Then you move acorss the road to a parkland back 10, a bit less varied, although a couple of tricky holes, one a long (for me) carry over the river and another a par 3 which needs length and height to avoid getting stuck in the bank. Overall really enjoyable and not too scary for a novice.
Great value links course with fabulous views
A great location with as good a view of Alisa Craig as you get from Turnberry. The fairways and tee areas are ok and the greens are very good. The sand in the bunkers is very heavy so best to keep out of them. The starter was helpful and friendly. A good value golf experience.
Great mixture of 8 links holes then inland for 10 parkland holes
Hadn’t played the course for 50 years and it was great to return. Course was quiet so no hold ups for our 1030 tee time. Some challenging holes. Greens were in the process of being cut but overall the course was in good condition and well maintained. Great value for money
Nice winter course
Played on a cold dry day after days of rain. Apart from a couple of areas being affected with flooding the course was in brilliant condition. All greens were open, which was a nice surprise given the recent weather. This would be a lovely course during the summer and I would absolutely visit again.
Played 2 x 4 balls. Everyone enjoyed the course.
Would recommend course ,well worth a visit.
Greens were great for time of year,lots of nice holes and superb views. A+
