Hill’s Hotel.

A 9-hole course, in the hotel grounds. First mention 1937. “Golfing on hotel course.” (Advert in S 19.6.1937) “Enjoyable golfing on hotel’s own course.” (Advert in GH 1939). The hotel was taken over in WW2 as a military hospital. After the war it came under the control of Largs then Strathclyde Councils, and is now the site of Scotland’s National Sports Training Centre. Among its facilities is a 5-hole golf training facility.

Harry Ward is a respected golf historian known for his detailed research into the origins and development of the game, particularly in Scotland. His work explores the early courses, players, and traditions that shaped modern golf, bringing to life the stories behind iconic venues and figures. Through careful study and a passion for the sport’s heritage, he helps preserve golf’s rich history for future generations.

All of this work is independently funded out of his own pocket. If you value preserving golf’s history and would like to support his ongoing research, any contribution—no matter how small—would be greatly appreciated.
