The Golf Club - Western Gailes

Nestled along the Ayrshire coastline, Western Gailes Golf Club was built to help the members escape the smog and bustle of Glasgow. Conceived by four enterprising Glaswegians, the club's inception was driven by a desire to escape the frozen turf and embrace year-round golfing bliss by the sea. Their vision led them to the Duke of Portland, securing a lease on his picturesque land, where the dream of Western Gailes took root.

As the short film unfolds, viewers are transported through the captivating landscape of Western Gailes. The opening holes unfold amidst rolling links land, offering a tantalising glimpse of what lies ahead. Then, the course evolves, leading players through the enchanting high dunes that characterise the front-nine, each hole presenting a new challenge against the backdrop of the shimmering shoreline.

With eight holes exposed to the elements, the sea breeze whispers tales of ancient maritime adventures, while the back nine offers a more settled terrain, adorned with pot bunkers and meandering burns, adding strategic complexity to each shot.

Western Gailes isn't just a golf course; it's a journey through Scotland's rich golfing heritage, where every fairway tells a story and every stroke is an opportunity to connect with the land and its history.
