Golf breaks on the Clyde
Scottish golf without the Scottish golf prices
Sixteen courses within an hour of your bed — starting with 27 James Braid holes five minutes away and running down to the Open links at Troon and Prestwick. Beds, green fees and transfers in one price, for groups of 2 to 20.
From £99 per person · 1 night, 1 round, transfers in
Greenock Golf Club, five minutes from the front door
Why base a golf trip in Greenock
Everyone stays in Ayr or Troon and pays hotel money for it. Sit thirty minutes north instead and the same courses are still in reach — with the Renfrewshire moorland belt on your doorstep and a bed at a fraction of the price.
16 courses inside an hour
Greenock and Gourock on the doorstep, the James Braid moorland belt through Renfrewshire, and the Open coast at Troon and Prestwick down the road.
The whole group under one roof
Self-contained apartments of seven private bedrooms with their own kitchen and lounge — nobody gets split across corridors.
25 minutes from Glasgow Airport
We collect you. No hire car, no navigating, no nominated driver for the whole trip.
Greenock Central is 400 yards
Glasgow is about 30 minutes and £9 return if half the group fancies a day off the course.
Built for early tees
Secure club storage, somewhere to dry waterproofs, laundry, and a kitchen you can use at 6am without asking anyone.
A base, not a hotel
Your own lounge to talk about the round in, at a fraction of hotel prices — so the budget goes on golf instead of the bed.

Prices are per person, based on eight or more sharing, on weekday and shoulder-season rates. Everything below includes your bed, every green fee and all your transfers.

On our doorstep
Greenock Golf ClubSemi-moorland · James Braid
Our home course, and the reason a golf trip here makes sense at all. Twenty-seven holes laid out high above the town by James Braid in 1924 — the 18-hole Big Course plus a genuinely testing wee 9 — with the Firth of Clyde, the Argyll hills and Ben Lomond in view from almost every tee. Five minutes from your bed, and the first round of most trips we run.

Tell us who's coming and when
Send us your dates, how many golfers, and any courses you've set your heart on. We'll come back with a full itinerary and a price per head — tee times held, transfers planned, nothing to organise between you.
Prefer to talk it through? Call or WhatsApp +44 7445 134850.
Worth telling us:
group size, arrival airport or station, rough handicap range, and whether you want the famous links in the mix or as many rounds as possible for the money.
Golf trip questions
How many golfers can you take?
From two up to twenty. Eight to fourteen is the sweet spot — that fills one or two whole apartments, which is where the per-head price is at its best.
Do we need handicap certificates?
Not for the courses in our standard packages. The championship links — Royal Troon, Prestwick, Barassie — do ask for a handicap certificate or club membership, and we'll tell you exactly what's needed when we quote.
What if the weather turns?
It's Scotland — golf is played in most of it. The moorland and links courses here drain well and stay open when inland courses shut. If a club closes the course we'll move the tee time or refund that green fee.
Can non-golfers come along?
Very much so. They stay at the same room rate without the golf, and there's the paddle steamer from our doorstep, Glasgow at thirty minutes, Loch Lomond at forty and the ferries to Bute and Dunoon.
How do we pay?
We quote for your dates and group, you confirm, and we invoice a deposit to hold the tee times with the balance due before arrival. Company invoicing is no problem.
All green fees are included in the package price. Drive times are approximate. Package prices are guide prices per person based on eight sharing, on weekday and shoulder-season rates; every trip is quoted individually and confirmed before you pay. Course photographs are our own except where a credit appears on the card.
