The 18-hole course at Ardfin is sculpted into the rugged Jura shoreline at the island’s southern tip.

The first 11 holes are played on the western stretch, along Ardfin’s dramatic cliffs and then down to beach level, all with staggering views across to Islay. The 10th has been described as ‘a-once-in-a-lifetime par three’ from bluff to bluff. Holes 12, 13 and 14 are also played along the beach before the course turns in along a ridge, providing even more remarkable views with the 18th completing the course in the presence of Jura House.

The whole course is wild and rugged and has been designed to minimise interference with nature, so greens are narrow with fewer bunkers required than most courses, due to the challenging cliffside landscape. Ardfin has already been hailed as “A modern masterpiece” and “An experience that is not available anywhere else.” making it a course that should now be on every golfer’s bucket list.
