On a first visit to the isle of Arran we stopped for a short visit to the Corrie Golf Club in the village of Corrie.
The golf club was founded in 1892 and in a par-31, nine-hole layout of just over 1,900 yards.
Corrie is a wonderful little village, located some 6 miles (10 kilometres) north of Brodick and about the same distance from Lochranza in the south.
The village used to be a regular stop for steamers circumnavigating the island of Arran.
Our visit also involved a bit of circumnavigation of the island by road but, unfortunately did not entail playing nine-holes at The Corrie Golf Club though we did ‘squeeze-in’ a pint at The Corrie Hotel, and sitting across the road … as you will note.
It was then time to board the CalMac ferry from closeby Lochranza to Claonaig, and on the Scottish mainland, ahead of driving south to Campbelltown and the next leg of our golfing journey.
