Exploring the Timeless Beauty of Millport Golf Club
Welcome to Millport Golf Club, an exquisite members club tucked away on Golf Road, Isle of Cumbrae. This hidden gem boasts an 18-hole heathland course that offers golfers a memorable and challenging experience. Steeped in history, the club's roots date back to 1888 when it was originally known as The Cumbrae Golf Club. However, to avoid confusion with another club, it was later rebranded as Millport Golf Club.
In 1913, the legendary golf course architect, James Braid, was invited to weave his magic and design the course to suit the modern game. And indeed, he did not disappoint. Measuring just shy of 6000 yards, with a par of 68 and SSS of 69 (Ladies par is 72 with a yardage of 5,228), this course demands a full repertoire of shot-making skills. Golfers will face several blind shots that truly put their abilities to the test.
The course offers a captivating view from above the town of Millport, providing a picturesque backdrop as you swing through each hole. Keep your wits about you, though, as out of bounds comes into play on the first 7 holes, and at the 2nd hole, it lurks ominously on both sides.
Beyond the captivating fairways lies the heart of the club - the charming clubhouse. After a day of exhilarating golf, members and visitors can unwind in the welcoming atmosphere of the clubhouse, complete with a bar and restaurant. For those in need of equipment, worry not, as the club provides trolley and buggy hire to ensure you have everything you need for a memorable round.
If you're seeking a golfing adventure on a historic course that challenges even the most seasoned golfers, Millport Golf Club is the place to be. Experience the legacy of James Braid's design and relish the stunning vistas of Millport as you indulge in a round of golf you won't soon forget.
