Rhubaan golf course

This small six hole course was located at the Eastern end of Tighnabruaich where the boatyard is now. The course was obviously a private concern attatched to the large house adjacent to the course. When i found the photo's on the internet i immediately purchased them in order to continue my research. Having failed to find any text articles on the course from newspapers etc, i visited the site and carried out an extensive survey with the photo's.

This is how the photo's came to me. They are all pasted on to card and you can clearly see the descriptions on all of them, ie, rhubaan golf links, hill hole, road hole etc. It was an easy peasy survey as all the features in the background etc, all tied in nicely.
