Welcome to
 The Irvine Golf Club, Bogside sports a traditional links course established over 100 years ago owing much of it's present day character to the design work of James Braid in 1926. The course provides a challenge to all with its subtle changes in direction and no two holes the same.
Irvine Golf Club hosts the Final Qualifying Rounds for the Open Championship when it is held at Turnberry or Royal Troon. In addition to this the P.G.A frequently stage their events at the course, including the Sunderland Of Scotland Masters.
The course demands accurate shot making, after all, it has produced three Scottish Amateur Champions in Hammy McInally, Jimmy Walker and Jack Cannon who honed their skills at Bogside.
The Links fairways built on sand , are divided by gorse and heather. Every hole has its own identity and the greens are fast and true. The neighbouring Gulf Stream ensures year round golf of the highest quality whilst the peaks of Arran produce a natural backdrop to complement the birdlife of the River Irvine and the Bogside flats where wildlife abounds.
Irvine Bogside Course 
Irvine Golf Club Bogside is a traditional links course owing much of its character to the famous James Baird, who designed many of Scotland's top courses. The course can best be described as a mix of links and heathland. The fairways are built on sand and are divided by gorse and heather and every hole has its own identity whilst the quality of greens is traditionally amongst the courses strengths. The course is not long by present day standards, 6423 yards, but demands accurate shot making and missed fairways and greens can be well punished. It is often likened to Prestwick for the number of blind shots required and like the venerable old links is a delight to play.
