This is a fantastic holiday golf course, kept in superb condition, especially the greens. Just returned from a weekend when we played twice round on the Saturday and once on the Sunday, and we were blessed with sunshine and a wee breeze. Don't look any further for authentic Scottish links golf, a true gem.

Shiskine Golf and Tennis Club is not Royal Troon or Turnberry, but it is one of the ten most unique golf courses in Scotland. A good from friend of mine from Scotland is a member here and he is one lucky guy, since he gets to play it every weekend. Shiskine is unique in every dimension. It is a 12 hole 2990 yard course that plays along the coast on the Isle of Arran. Though the course is short, the wind can change things real quickly. This is not your typical golf course. The course layout is very interesting. The first hole is a nice starter, but then when you get to the "Crow's Nest" you know that you are not at any typical golf course. Once at the end of the course, just before you start your trek back towards the clubhouse, you get the full feel and view of this course. Part of the course plays up against a unique rock formation that probably dates back to prehistoric times and survived the former ice age. The wind at this end of the course can really make things interesting, but all in all it is one hect of a fun track to play. If you find yourself in this part of the world and this part of Scotland, it is worth a game if you like unique, fun, and interesting.

We recently played Shiskine as part of our tour of Arran. Our group voted this as the best course on the island. The greens, course and views are superb! A real gem of a course.

I played in September 2003 and can FULLY endorse all the previous comments about Shiskine.

What I found particularly impressive was the way in which the course was so skilfully (or should I say devilishly !) designed around the natural features of the area - no JCB's or silly ponds needed here !

Truly this is REAL golf as was meant to be ...

My surname may not be McArthur - but I SHALL return !

ps: My wife insists I mention the tea and scones in the clubhouse ..... superb.

a superb little course with some very testing holes including many blind shots, a fantastic crows nest ringed with gorse and some imposing cliffs rising above the edge of the course. Classic scottish golfing!

Shiskine is simply wonderful; as one of the other contributers here has said, if you manage to be on Arran on a sunny, windless day then make sure you head to this course. It can be fairly exposed on a gusty day, but on a perfect afternoon, the name of the 10th hole (Paradise) is absolutely true. It's a uniquely challenging 12 hole course, with every hole having something to offer, from dramatic par 3s through to a long, undulating 480yd par 5. Priced at £13 weekdays, it's an absolute must and of all the courses on the island, this is tops!
