St Nicks is superb, you'll struggle to putt on better greens anywhere in Ayrshire. Good course.

West Kilbride is decent enough, I don't really think its as good as some of the Ayrshire links but its a fair test. Great catering in the club.

Bogside, decent track and tough, you need to keep it on the short stuff that's for sure. Its usually in decent condition, in my opinion it could do with a bit more variation in its holes.

Barassie, I had my eyes opened by Barassie this year and I'd recommend it. Good track, very enjoyable links.

I don't know your budget but I'd also look at Troon Portland which is Royal Troons little sister. Its a cracker. I'd also recommend Largs Golf Club ahead of Brunston Castle. Largs is a good track always presented in good condition.
