Shiskine Golf Club

A unique 12 hole course on the Isle of Arran with a par of 42, incorporating seven par 3's, four par 4's and a par 5.

The unspoiled seaside links of Shiskine Golf and Tennis Club is set in magnificent scenery overlooking the Kilbrannan sound on the Isle of Arran with splendid views to the Mull of Kintyre. Nestling below Drumadoon Cliffs at Blackwaterfoot, Shiskine's challenging and picturesque 12-hole layout is truly one of the hidden gems in the world of golf.

Founded in 1896 the original nine-hole course was laid out by the famous Willie Fernie of Troon. Fifteen years or so later Willie Park was awarded the contract to extend the course to 18 holes, revising Fernie's layout in the process. Due to the intervention of the First World War six of the new holes fell into disuse for one reason or another to leave Park's unique 12-hole layout as it is today. .... September 2005.
