Glencruitten Golf Club

Overview: Designed by the legendary James Braid and nestled in a secluded glen above the coastal town of Oban, Glencruitten Golf Club is one of Scotland's most technical and visually dramatic parkland courses. The layout is a fascinating hillside challenge that makes masterly use of the natural topography, featuring several holes with significant elevation changes and blind approaches. With a par of 62 and measuring approximately 4,471 yards, the course is relatively short by modern standards but requires ultimate precision and creative shot-shaping. Glencruitten offers a peaceful, woodland sanctuary with spectacular vistas of the surrounding Argyll mountains.

Did You Know? The course is famously known as the home club of Robert MacIntyre, one of Scotland’s most successful modern professional golfers and a Ryder Cup star. Its narrow fairways and complex greens are often credited with helping to hone the legendary short game and accuracy for which MacIntyre is celebrated.
