Venue

Rothesay Golf Club

Isle of Bute, Argyll and Bute, Scotland

Rothesay Golf Club, founded in 1892 and redesigned by renowned architect James Braid in 1908, is an 18-hole course located on the Isle of Bute, Scotland. Situated just ¾ mile from Rothesay pier on Glebelands Road, the course circles Canada Hill at approximately 400 feet elevation, offering panoramic views across the Firth of Clyde to surrounding landscapes including the Cowal Hills, Lochs Ridden and Striven, the Mull of Kintyre, Isle of Arran, and Ayrshire Hills. Despite its modest length of 5,419 yards, the course presents a formidable challenge to golfers of all abilities. The par-3 4th hole is particularly notable, considered by Ryder Cup player Eric Brown to be one of Europe's most difficult par-3s. The course has attracted numerous famous golfers throughout the 20th century, including Walter Hagen, who reportedly praised its views as unmatched anywhere in the world. The layout takes advantage of the hilly terrain and strategic positioning around Canada Hill to create a demanding test of golf skill.
