Annanhill Golf Club

Welcome to Annanhill Golf Club

Annanhill golf course, one of two courses owned by Kilmarnock & Louden District Council, was opened on the 27th of April 1957. The opening of Annanhill golf course was marked by an exhibition foursome featuring two of Scotlands greatest golfers, Eric Brown and John Panton. The Annanhill pro, John McLean and the Prestwick St Nicholas pro, Willie MacDonald made up the

foursome and the match finished all square. To this day, Annanhill golf course remains a challenging test of golf. Most fairways are tree-lined with regular out of bounds on both sides. The course is ideal for part time and serious golfers who enjoy there golf with generous fairways and small tight greens. A par 3 hole whereby you hit across a valley to a small green surrounded by bunkers and a drop off on all sides, very similar to the famous postage stamp at Troon, a par 3 here is a welcome relief. Annanhill is an enjoyable course with a very difficult start. 3 of the first 5 holes are in the top five degrees of difficulty. The first is 440 yards with out of bounds right and a slope running off to the left, not many fours here. A dog leg par five 18th supplies the finishing touch. Out of bounds right and left and over the back of the green, the rounds not over till the balls safely in the hole.
