"Glencruitten Golf Course does not offer only a game of golf, but a golfing adventure that tests every shot in your game. The course also boasts one of the most welcoming 19th holes in one of the most scenic parts of the world."
Declan Curran, Former Captain, Oban - July 2020
One of the Most Beautiful Spots in the World
Glencruitten Golf Course is James Braid’s hidden gem nestling among the hills of Glencruitten Estate on the outskirts of Oban, Argyll, Scotland.
Flora and fauna abound on the course and in the spring and early summer it’s a splash of colour with the pale-blue iridescence of the harebells and the violent patches of yellow of the whins.
There are mature trees throughout the course and in particular there are two fine specimens of the native Scots Pine of the ancient Caledonian Forest which are protected by Tree Preservation Orders. A considerable amount of new planting has been undertaken and the benefits are yet to come.
Among the fauna, Buzzards are a regular sighting, as are Pheasants, Heron and Deer. Although not visible, there is the remains of a vitrified Roman fort, on top of the hill on the 4th hole, which is a listed ancient monument.
