It’s
not all Par and Handicaps
What can you do together on your family holiday that
everyone can enjoy from the youngest to oldest and whether it’s sunny or
raining? The answer is a short distance from your camping pitch: golf! Only
preconceptions that golf is difficult, expensive and you need a lot of specialist
gear will stand in your way because golf has reinvented itself from what it was
twenty years ago. Courses have become havens for wildlife and clubs have made
learning to play affordable. Everyone who has played golf knows: it’s a great
experience and it’s addictive!
Some of today’s best Arran golfers honed their drives on
Lochranza’s wide green fairways. Lochranza Golf has golfing options: two
putting greens, a nine hole pitch and putt course and a nine hole golf course.
We have plenty of clubs for hire and we do not require bookings.
Playing golf is a journey: at Lochranza the course flows
down the flat floor of the glen where the burn, Chalmadale Waters, meanders
across it. It lies in the heart of the glen and as you play there is every likelihood
that you will see red deer stags and soaring golden eagles. Eventually you
reach the head of the loch and see the sea and the castle. As you play, decisions
have to be made –safe or ambitious- and challenges attempted.
There are lots of variations you can add to the game to
encourage children to play such as working in pairs with one ball and taking
alternative shots. Some children are spurred on by competition whilst some are
stressed by it and prefer working as a team.
Our multi-day holiday passes are great value! For example
a three-day pass gives you unlimited play for three whole days and costs £30
per adult and £15 per junior.
There are six other golf courses on the island (one a day
for a week’s holiday) and all welcome visitors. Each one has its own character,
challenges and beautiful location. You can find out more about them at www.golfonarran.com
