| As
a recent 'imigrant' to Ayr (08/02), I have fallen in love
with this little course, particularly the links style
holes located when you go through the wall. I cannot agree
with some of the comments about it's condition. The greens
are excellent (although one or two of the tees could be
better). To score well on this course you will need to
take your 'A' game chipping skills out with you. A number
of the greens have very tricky undulations and as with
most James Braid courses, the bunkers, most of which can
be tricky to get out of, are very well placed. Off the
Yellow 'Tee of the day' most of the Par 3's are fairly
straight forward but off the White Medal Tees, they become
tigers!!! Some of the shorter par 4's are driveable, but
without exception, every one of these holes has the ability
to ruin your card if the driver is a little wayward. If
you are reading this report to decide which of the Ayr
courses you should play, I would say have a morning round
at Belleisle which is a challenging championship course
but do not miss the chance of an afternoon round at this
little gem!! On a final note, if you are looking to play
in Ayr during the winter, this course is a better bet
than it's parkland Belleisle sister. |

What an absolute pleasure to play on this course in brilliant
weather in mid April. - A big thanks to the starter for
accomdating last minute changes in our schedule to enable
us to fit an extra round in on the last day of our trip.
Our group found the course and greens to be in very good
condition and the variety of holes, particulary the contrast
between the parkland and the links type parts of the course
held the interest and set challanges for our level of
golf. We found everyone we came across as warm and friendly
with nothing to much trouble or as the locals say "nay
bother" - we'll be back next year. |

| Although
I wouls suggest you only play seafield as a desert to
Belleisle, this course is FUN. My wife and I played, (9
and 34 Handicap) and had great fun, Although the course
is very short and high scoring is not on the agenda, to
score really low is also very tricky. A mix of parkland
and links type holes (links within the bounds of the old
racecourse) this course has it all. the par threes are
either tough or easy, with 4-5 reachable par fours and
NO par fives. Providing you do not want to re-enact the
open or rhyder cup, this course is excellent . |
