Port Bannatyne Golf Club

Port Bannatyne Golf Club is a unique 13-hole Scottish parkland course located in the seaside village of Port Bannatyne on the Isle of Bute, overlooking the Kyles of Bute and Loch Striven. The course layout is distinctive: golfers play the first 12 holes, then repeat the first 5 holes with a separate 18th hole to complete the round. This unconventional design is rare in Scotland.

Set in a picturesque coastal landscape, the course takes advantage of its scenic waterside location with views across the Kyles of Bute. The village itself has historical significance as the former home of the World War II midget submarine fleet (X-Craft) and overlooks Loch Striven, where the famous bouncing bomb was tested.

The club features a modern clubhouse with bar, locker rooms, and showers. The course operates on an honesty box system, reflecting its community-focused approach. Port Bannatyne attracts both men's and ladies' membership, hosting regular fixtures and tournaments throughout the year.
