Course Description

"Many marriages are made in Millport. But many more might be made in that delightful paradise of the West. The prosperity of Cumbrae would be increased, and the happiness of the whole community placed upon a more commanding basis. Schools and churches would flourish, education would fly upon the wings of the wind, and the fame of the virtuous little jewel of an isle would reach the ends of the earth." The author of the article in the Glasgow Herald of October 22nd 1887 declared that these predictions would be realised "if a golfing links were to be established on the island". Over 135 years later on, I can confirm at least one of these predictions came true, as my parents meet at a dance in Millport Golf Club, I was married on the island, and I held my wedding reception in the golf club. Millport Golf Club prides itself on being a friendly, family orientated golf club and welcomes visitors. We have a full calendar of golfing events throughout the year, with options suitable for all golfing abilities. With handicap opens, doubles competitions, mixed events and the prestigious Cumbrae Cup scratch event for the very of best players. Add in our lively social events, including the world famous Quizoki, there is something for everyone. Almost never closed and very rarely on winter greens or mats, Millport Golf Club offers golf all year round. With unsurpassed views of the Firth of Clyde, Bute, Arran and beyond, even on the worst days of weather or golf, the stunning views will lift the heart and all the woes seem slightly less heavy. You may even meet your future sweetheart on our links and continue to add to the many marriages made in Millport. I look forward to welcoming you to our Club, and hope that you enjoy your game, the views and the hospitality in the clubhouse.
