Argyll is renowned for its tranquility and beauty which extends fully onto the fantastic golf courses dotted throughout. The tranquility means that you can enjoy peace and quiet on golf courses that don't make you wait for an age at each hole to tee off !

West Loch Shores Tarbert has a 9 hole golf course situated only 1 mile along the road. This 9 hole golf course takes you up into the woodland and overlooks the wonderful West Loch Tarbert and West Loch Shores. The course on the whole is not too tricky for beginners as it doesn't have any bunkers, but there are 3 holes where you must cross a shallow burn ! At only £10.00 per day, and there are clubs available, you could play all day !

From the West Loch Shores you can either head north and play golf courses in Lochgilphead or Inveraray or head south or west to Carradale or for a true links challenge at either Dunaverty or Machrihanish.

Dunaverty (otherwise known as South End) is a tricky 18 hole links course where winds can challenge even the best golfers. The greens and fairways are well maintained and free from excess water most of the year.

Machrihanish is a world class 18 hole links golf course only 45 minutes from West Loch Shores Tarbert which has a pro shop and excellent facilities to boot. This course is listed in the Golfer's Digest top 100 golf courses in the world outside of the United States of America, and also reputed to have one of the very best opening holes of golf in the world.

For a variety of golfing experience from a tranquil and idyllic setting, look no further than the self-catering lodges at West Loch Shores Tarbert or West Loch Shores Brenfield.
