Largs Golf Club is a long-established private golf club with a superb 18-hole parkland course, situated in front of Kelburn Castle in the west of Scotland on the Firth of Clyde.
On the west or shore side there are fine views from many of the holes of the Firth of Clyde with the islands of Cumbrae, Bute and Arran in the background, with Arran's Goat Fell and the 'Sleeping Warrior' dominating the landscape.
On the east and south sides there are finely wooded slopes and the beauty of the course is enhanced by many mature trees. The features of a parkland course such as winding burns, lush fairways, tree-lined dog-legs and undulating greens are very much in evidence
The course is enduringly popular with visitors, who return regularly year after year. The well-balanced layout offers an interesting and challenging experience to golfers across the broad spectrum of enthusiasm and ability, with positional play rather than big hitting paying better dividends.
The Club has a well-stocked Professional's shop and an excellent Restaurant with lounge bar facilities.
Sam Torrance, the well-known Ryder Cup golfer and 2001 European Ryder Cup Captain, spent many hours playing and practicing at the Club as a junior member. He was awarded an honorary membership at a ceremony presided over by the then Club Captain John Lambert in 1985.
