Kilmarnock (Barassie) Golf Club Website
We are delighted to introduce the Kilmarnock (Barassie) Golf Club website, features on the site include:
Barassie Links 
Barassie has undergone considerable changes over the past few years and not only has twenty seven holes with which to test the golfer but also has much improved facilities in the clubhouse and professional's shop. The additional nine holes are part of the championship course and have added a different dimension to Barassie with a par of 74. The course measures at just under 7000 yards and the new holes provide some wonderful challenges perhaps no more than the par 3 fourth hole or the quirky dog leg par 5 eighth. The course is challenging but is typically what Scottish Links golf is about-large undulating greens,deep bunkers and doglegs.
