Phillips set out to build a links that felt like a rediscovered older course. Flat, sandy ground, grassy dunes, dry ditches and large, fast greens with run-offs define the layout, while the back nine brings sea views.
Owned by Loch Lomond Golf Club, Dundonald hosted the 2017 Scottish Open and several editions of the Women's Scottish Open. Visitors can book tee times directly; the course neighbors Western Gailes and Glasgow Gailes.
