Dundonald Links
Ultimate modern links
The first Dundonald Links layout was designed by 1883 Open Champion Willie Fernie, and opened on March 23rd, 1911. At 6700 yards, it was one of the longest golf courses of its time. Following two World Wars, the site was almost unrecognisable.
Dundonald Links was purchased by Loch Lomond Golf Club in early 2003 to provide its global Membership with a traditional links challenge. They enlisted California-based architect Kyle Phillips, who had recently built Kingsbarns, to create a links masterpiece right here on the Ayrshire coast.
With the stunning coastal land that presented itself to Kyle Phillips, he saw the opportunity to create the ultimate modern links layout. Featuring everything you would expect from a world class modern links course, Dundonald Links has wonderful undulations, deep rough, a generous helping of gorse bushes and unlike many traditional links courses, there are areas of the course that are framed by stunning pine trees.
“I had visited Dundonald 4 years previous to this visit and my first thought was to how it had matured in such a short time. It is a typical Kyle Phillips design andI feel in time to come will further mature into a classic. Huge investment is planned for 2021 and Dundonald will become a super power resort on the Ayrshire coastline and having seen the plans this will be a must stay and play”
