Courses – Largs Golf Club, Routenburn Golf Course, Skelmorlie Golf Club, Kilbirnie Place Golf Club

Largs’ superb 18-hole parkland course has been rated as the best conditioned in the West of Scotland, nestling under Kelburn Castle’s wooded estate. The manicured greens are the envy of other clubs. Combined with lush fairways, meandering burns and tree-lined dog-legs, the course offers a fair but rewarding challenge for golfers of all abilities. Routenburn Golf Course, opened 1914, is a fantastic example of a James Braid designed golf course. Although not the longest course, at 5262 yards, this hilly, moorland course offers a challenge for all levels of golfers as well as some breathtaking views. Skelmorlie, a James Braid course, is a very challenging 18 hole moorland layout and will provides all standards of golfers a very enjoyable experience. Suitable for all golfing abilities, Kilbirnie’s parkland course is spread across 5’500 yards offering some fantastic tricky greens and fairways nestled in amongst bunkers, natural hazards and enclosed by some picturesque countryside.

Property Description

This 14th-century castle is the perfect retreat for a luxurious gathering with family, where you can relax with your feet up around the wood burner.

Knock Old Castle dates back to the 14th-century and has been fantastically resurrected by the current owner into a truly unique, whimsical, fairytale castle. In what has been a 5 year long project, this detached castle has been lovingly restored. Local craftsmen have utilised their skills, imagination and expertise to make this property into something that will amaze every guest.
From the quirky doors and interior, where no straight lines will be found, to the sauna in the tower, and the painted ceiling in the keep, to the stunning views over the sea from the glass domed lookout, and not forgetting the sheep grazing on the wild flower roof. Old Knock Castle will be sure to exceed every expectation.
The castle is situated on the Ayrshire coast, in a private setting, 200 yards from the owner’s home, with only a short walk from the shore and close to the bustling town of Largs with its shops, restaurants and promenade. This holiday property is ideally located to explore the islands of Cumbrae, Arran and the Isle of Bute. Ferries run to Dunoon and the Cowal Peninsula, giving access to Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.
Ayrshire offers a varying coastline with villages, beaches and rocky coves to explore, and is an ideal location for cyclists and walkers, with Skelmorlie heralding the start of the Ayrshire Coastal Path, a 100 mile long coastal walk. Inland there is walking, cycling, gardens and castles to visit, riding, fishing, racing and a choice of golf courses, including the world famous open venues of Troon Prestwick and Turnberry.
Culzean Castle Country Park, extending over 550 acres, has a network of wooded trails passing along the beach. Glasgow and Edinburgh are easily reached for a day trip, with rail links available from the town. Shop, pub and restaurant 1½ miles.
