Split by the Water of Girvan which is a salmon river and sheltered by the rolling hills clever use of the natural contours and the creation of a number of strategically placed ponds have created some spectacular golf holes.
The greens are to a high standard and provide excellent putting surfaces throughout the year. Furthermore the relaxing environment of the restaurant allows you to look out over the golf course while enjoying a well deserved meal after your round.
Named after James Kennedy the Baillie of Carrick, the first recorded owner of Brunston.
