THE GOLF COURSES PLAYED FOR THE AYRSHIRE OPEN 2002

 
Irvine Bogside

Irvine Golf Club, Bogside sports a traditional links course established over 100 years ago owing much of it's present day character to the design work of James Braid in 1926. The course provides a challenge to all with its subtle changes in direction and no two holes the same. Irvine golf club hosts the final Qualifying rounds for the Open Championship when it is held at Turnberry or Royal Troon.

Glasgow Gailes

Glasgow Gailes Links is owned and managed by Glasgow Golf Club, the 9th oldest golf club in the world. Gailes is a challenging links course - tough and traditionally Scottish - consistently selected by the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews as a final qualifying venue for the Open Championship.

 

Kilmarnock Barassie

The course itself is a Open Championship Final Qualifying venue with a well deserved reputation for some of the best maintained greens in Scotland. The course is tough, but is typically what Scottish Links golf is about - large undulating greens, deep bunkers and doglegs.

 

Belleisle

Belleisle would probably be the best public course in Scotland if it wasn't for those upstarts, St.Andrews and Carnoustie. Belleisle is a classic parkland course of genuine character, set in the harmonious woodland of Belleisle Park.
