Charity Golf Day – The Irvine GC
2nd May 2024
The Irvine Golf Club
Join us on the Ayrshire coast for our Charity Golf Day – The Army Benevolent Fund would like to welcome you for a fun charity golf outing at one of the most outstanding links courses in the West of Scotland.
Irvine Golf Club is set in a seaside location, the neighbouring Gulf Stream ensures year round links golf, whilst the romantic peaks of Arran present a stunning backdrop to the landscape.
To play golf in Scotland, you must visit Ayrshire, the birthplace of the Open, and enjoy the links experience at The Irvine GC. It was over the links land of Scotland that the game of golf was born and still today the true links experience is unparalleled the world over.
It truly is one of Scotland’s hidden gems, offering a traditional links challenge, which owes much of its present day character to the course design of the great James Braid. One of Scotland’s most celebrated course designers, James Braid created a legacy of distinctive courses, characterised by their great variety and interesting use of nature’s assets.
The clubhouse offers first class facilities with a wonderful welcoming staff who cater for all your needs. The excellent chefs add to the culinary experience. They look forward to welcoming you on the day.
The club is no stranger to famous players and professional tournaments, playing host to the R&A for the Local Open qualifying when the Open is held at near neighbours, Royal Troon or Trump Turnberry.
