What the club says: Formerly known as Southern Gailes, this superb new course sits in prime links land adjacent to Western Gailes with Glasgow Gailes to the north and Kilmarnock Brassie to the south. It has been hailed as an equal to Kingsbarns and unsurprisingly, was designed by Kyle Phillips. A classic links, it has been recognised as one of the best new courses in the world (Robb Report 2004). Phillips' aim was to create a championship course that played and felt like an old rediscovered course and most observers believe he's accomplished this.

Fantastic links experience

Full enjoyably round here and a firm favourite from our group of golfers. Can be pricey but well worth and we make sure to visit each year to see the course and venue improvements. Top class customer service and all round first class trip.

True Scottish Golf

Dunno bald has the same architect as Kinsbarns. Wind was blowing a steady 20 miles per hour plus with intermittent rain. Course has a 130 slope from the white tees. Forecasts was extremely helpful.

Amazing venue, the accommodation was 5 star, all you needed was under 1 roof, the clubhouse, bar and restaurant was unreal.

Good layout but….

Had heard some good reviews from friends. Layout is really good, but have to say, some areas not as good as would have hoped for the price. Greens were in good shape, but tee boxes ‘well used’. We had carts but no signage out there for directions in roped areas (plenty) meant reversing as cart auto cut off kicks in. Real shame and based on this, would look at other courses first in the area, depending on our price point

Excellent

Played with friends 19.10.23.
From walking into reception to leaving the clubhouse after a great round and excellent meal , the guys at Dundonald Links didn’t put a foot wrong .
Very friendly welcome in the pro shop and starter.
The course was in excellent condition the layout is great and was a good test - playable but testing - a really enjoyable day and top quality at a fair price.
Will be visiting again.

Society visit

Played this beautiful course on 2/9/23. Couldn't fault a thing. Warm welcome upon arrival from the young ladies in the bar area, they even passed nice comments on the colour of our society tops. The starter was very pleasant taking time to explain to all snippets of info. The course itself lives up to its reputation, excellent condition from tee to green. Even if your round not the best just admire the views.

Exceptional course

well worth its ranking as a championship course. Typical links course management is key to doing well bunkers catch you and they are deep and very well placed. Let down by starters as another game got pushed in front. Didn't impact much ran 20 mins late.

This was an amazing experience! The course was in excellent condition, with great fairways and greens that were well kept. The practice area was also great, and the clubhouse facilities were first-class. The layout and stadium feel of the course was great. All in all, it was an excellent day with friends and an exceptional course. Highly recommended!
