Kilmarnock Barassie

The course is tough, but is typically what Scottish Links golf is about - large undulating greens, deep bunkers and doglegs. The course has generated some excellent publicity recently having been host for the British Amateur Championships in June 2001 along with Prestwick Golf Club and played host to the European Youths Championships the previous year. Barassie Links remains to many, one of the clichéd Hidden Gems of Scottish Golf. For those who have played it however it simply becomes a mystery as to why more have not. If you are in the area you could certainly do an awful lot worse than spending a few hours discovering its charms.
