Overview: Situated on the beautiful Isle of Bute, Rothesay Golf Club is a historic 18-hole moorland course designed by the legendary duo of James Braid and Ben Sayers in 1908. The layout is a par 69, measuring 5,419 yards, and snakes around Canada Hill, offering awe-inspiring views of the Firth of Clyde, the Kyles of Bute, and the Arran mountains. The course rewards accuracy and careful shot placement rather than brute length, featuring undulating fairways and subtle, well-protected greens. Rothesay provides a quintessential island golfing experience that seamlessly blends technical challenge with spectacular natural beauty.
Did You Know? The course layout, wrapped around the contours of Canada Hill, ensures that almost every hole presents a completely different panoramic vista. It is an incredibly atmospheric round that captures the relaxed charm of Scottish island golf.
