In a letter of 1751 they appear as a gaggle of lairds, a minister and a doctor playing golf at Girvan, with Sir John adjudicating both the golf and the drinking. That was three years before the St Andrews golfers formed their Society. So where did they play?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody wrote it down. In a town of about a thousand souls there were only two candidates: the town green, now Stair Park and rows of Victorian villas, or the shore north of the river, where holes one to eight run today. My money is on the shore. If I\u2019m right, Girvan\u2019s first eight holes may be the oldest golfing ground still in play in Ayrshire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole01_tee1_Moly.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"579\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole01_tee1_Moly-1024x579.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole01_tee1_Moly-1024x579.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole01_tee1_Moly-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole01_tee1_Moly-766x433.jpg 766w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole01_tee1_Moly-676x382.jpg 676w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole01_tee1_Moly-1536x868.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole01_tee1_Moly.jpg 1706w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><strong>Moly on the 1st tee, off the whites.

In 1892 Girvan\u2019s golfers held an open-air meeting on the ruins of Turnberry Castle and formed a club to play the Turnberry links. Nine years later, when their nine-hole course north of the river was sold for villas, they moved there. Turnberry, in effect, was founded by Girvan. But Turnberry was five miles away and too far for winter golf. So in 1903 the town leased 40 acres of shore, and David Kinnell of Prestwick St Nicholas laid out nine holes on it. He thought them the finest of their size. Directories still credit James Braid. I can find no evidence he did anything here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole02_tee2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole02_tee2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole02_tee2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole02_tee2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole02_tee2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole02_tee2-676x507.jpg 676w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole02_tee2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole02_tee2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><strong>Fran off the 2nd, Arran across the water. <\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Course<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The eight links holes are a delight: firm, rumpled and wind-blown, with a run of brutal par 3s.

In 1911 the members, wanting to \u201cremove the congestion\u201d, took a field along the river and extended to 18 holes. The council took the course over in the 1920s and bought it outright in 1926 for \u00a33,000. So the council didn\u2019t make the parkland, but it has had a century to put things right and hasn\u2019t. Of those ten inland holes, two are good, maybe three if you\u2019re generous to the 18th. The rest are flat field golf with a river attached, and the backdrop changes from Ailsa Craig to William Grant\u2019s grain distillery, the Girvan end of the family that gives the world Glenfiddich and, from these very stills, Hendrick\u2019s gin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole08_tee1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole08_tee1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole08_tee1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole08_tee1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole08_tee1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole08_tee1-676x507.jpg 676w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole08_tee1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.scotlandgolfbible.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2023-05-01_girvan_hole08_tee1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><strong>Looking back from the 8th tee along the old raised beach.
