The club is situated on the edge
of the village of Blackwaterfoot on the west side of the Isle of
Arran. It is reached via a small road that runs parallel with the
beach off the A841 - the road that runs around the outside of the
island. Blackwaterfoot itself is at the western end of the B880
(known as "The String") which traverses the island from the main
centre and ferry port of Brodick.
Buses 322, 323, 324 and the
Postbus run to the Kinloch Hotel in Blackwaterfoot, which is about
5 minutes walk from the course. More information is available from
Strathclyde Passenger Transport.
