I read the positive remarks about this course and paid it a visit. What an expensive mistake. After loosing a dozen golf balls, I gave up on the 14th and headed for home, determined to never play this course again. This view may change though...... This course is all about ballcontrol and precission. My game is not. That's explain my loss off balls and strong frustration. This is currently not my cup off tea at the moment. Being a local with a desire to play golf for the next 40 years; this view may change though. But for a high handicapper with no ball control, this is not the course to waste money and golfballs on.

The staff was very friendly though and the views over Clyde was to die for. It was therefore not a waste of my time.

My name is Allan Hendry and i am current club champion and match secretary. I have been a member of Whinhill for a number of years and can say nothing rivals it in the West of Scotland. The greens and bunkers are immaculate, i must say the greenstaff put in agreat deal of work especialy on the 3rd and 17th greens

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome any guests and potential members. I am always about for a chat, if not ask for the club mistress my partner Kirsteen for info.

Before moving here to San Diego in 1996 I was a regular visitor to the course playing at least once a week.

The wind and the rain are killers, but the views over the river clyde on a good day are really "Kodak" moments. When I come back to visit family I always make a point of playing a round or two.

I live in Kilbirnie, Ayrshire but have joined Whinhill because I work in Greenock.The course itself has a good layout and because of the location the wind usually blows you off your feet.The course can be quite demanding and local knowledge is a big advantage.I would say you certainly get value for money at Whinhill

Iplay this course at least twice weekly and it is a real challenge the rough hasn't grown much this year so shots off the fairway tend to run fairly far ,also if your unemployed or retired you can get a lesure pass from council and a round is only 70pence BARGAIN OR WHAT

I am a current member of Greenock Whinhill Golf club and originally played the course 10 years ago when I had to find something else to do on a Saturday afternoon when I stopped playing football. Whinhill is renowned locally for being a course where you need tohave a canny knowledge of the chip & run game rather than a bighitter. The greens are small and the fairways are narrow with manyburns criss crossing the course.The course is set in a horseshoe shape surrounding the local Beith Dam and has natural drainage which has proved invaluableduring the winter when rain falls almost daily ! In the summer thescenery is tremendous with views over the River Clyde. The Golf Club is privately owned with a membership of 300+but all visitors are made welcome at any time.
