Turnberry & West – Kilmarnock Barassie – 6817yds – Par 72

The Barassie Links Course is an Open Championship Qualifying venue with some of the best maintained greens in Scotland. The club has undergone considerable changes over the past three years and now has a 27 hole facility. The new nine holes are now part of the championship course and have added a different dimension to Barassie with a Par of 72 and a Standard Scratch of 74.

Changes have improved the course further with strategically placed bunkers causing more trouble off the tees. The course measures at just under 7000 yards and the new holes provide some wonderful challenges perhaps no more so than the par 3 fourth hole or the quirky double dog leg par 5 eighth. The course is tough, but is typically what Scottish Links golf is about – large undulating greens, deep bunkers and dog legs.
