Dundonald Links
Links Course in Irvine, Scotland
Dundonald Links, situated on Scotland's Ayrshire coast, offers a compelling modern links challenge with a rich, albeit interrupted, history. Originally laid out by Open Champion Willie Fernie in 1911, the land was significantly impacted by the World Wars. The current iteration, designed by the renowned Kyle Phillips and opened in 2005, transformed the site into a course known for its impressive undulations, strategic gorse and fescue, and expansive, subtly contoured greens. While not directly on the coastline, Phillips masterfully utilized the sandy soil to create a links experience featuring wide fairways and thoughtfully placed hazards, including burns that come into play on several holes. The course has earned a reputation as a stern test, capable of challenging players of all abilities. Adding to its prestige, Dundonald Links has been selected as a venue for Final Qualifying for The Open Championship from 2023 through 2026, highlighting its standing as a championship-quality links.
