Gailes Links
Irvine Scotland
 |
Gailes Links doesn’t get as much attention as its contemporaries on Scotland’s west coast but the R&A knows it well. The club has hosted final qualifying for The Open at Troon and Turnberry on four occasions in recent years. Part of the Glasgow Golf Club, this Willie Park Jr design (Maidstone, Sunningdale Old) opened in 1892. Notorious for the whin (gorse) and heather that line these narrow fairways, it is a classic links that plays to 6,903 yards from the championship tees. Here you will want to favor precision over power. The club claims four signature holes but arguably none better than 18. At 435 yards into the prevailing wind you can expect to approach the green with a hybrid guarding against a swale and a pot bunker left plus 3 pot bunkers right. You’ll be pleased to find the front of the green setting up a two-putt par.
