Dundonald Links

Set in Ayrshire around 40 minutes from Glasgow, in the heart of Scotland’s west coast links belt, Dundonald Links is built around a modern championship links course designed by Kyle Phillips, the architect behind Kingsbarns. The course weaves through natural dunes and sandy terrain, with wide fairways, clever bunkering and large, rolling greens that reward good strategy over brute strength — firm, fast and visually impressive, with wind playing a big role in how it plays from one day to the next. The resort itself is modern and comfortable, with accommodation in stylish lodges and rooms set around the course, an easy walk to the first tee, practice facilities and clubhouse. The clubhouse restaurant serves good Scottish produce, and the location between Troon and Irvine puts Royal Troon, Western Gailes and Prestwick all within easy reach.
