Western Gailes has hosted many notable tournaments over the years which include serving as a final qualifying venue of The Open at Royal Troon and Turnberry, along with the Curtis Cup and eight Scottish Amateur Championships.
In addition to the course, the Clubhouse is reason for a visit as it sits above the links with views across the Firth of Clyde to the Isle of Arran, Ailsa Craig and beyond.
