A marvellously simple layout with a number of world class holes; particularly the 6th and 7th.

One of the worlds finest links courses
Western Gailes Golf Club was established in 1897 and laid out by the first Keeper of the Green, Mr. F Morris. The course has been lengthened over the years, but it was Fred Hawtree in the 1970s that made the most material changes to the links.
The unusual routing is a continuous loop anticlockwise from the clubhouse, with the largest stretch played tight to the coastline. Tom Doak would call the signature holes, the 6th and 7th ‘truly world class’ .
The club has hosted many of the games biggest names throughout it’s history, including Harry Vardon, Gene Sarazon and more recently, Rory McIlroy and Luke Donald.
