Cowal Golf Club

Overview: Cowal Golf Club is a historic and scenic 18-hole course situated on the hillside above the coastal town of Dunoon. The layout has a distinguished architectural pedigree, having been extended to 18 holes by Willie Auchterlonie in 1906 and later reconstructed by the legendary James Braid in the 1920s. The course is characterized by its breathtaking panoramic views across the Firth of Clyde toward the peaks of Arran and the Cumbraes. Its elevated position and exposure to the elements make it a true moorland test of shot-shaping and creative play, rewards stamina and accuracy in a tranquil Highland setting.

Did You Know? Cowal is famous for its exceptionally well-maintained greens and its "Braid Hills" style challenge, where the natural gradients and rugged hazards require strategic thinking. Its location on the Cowal peninsula makes it a primary destination for golfers seeking a scenic Highland round away from the busier coastal links.
