The Carrick Course at Cameron House
Ayrshire, Scotland
Cameron House Carrick Course overview
Location: Loch Lomond, Scotland | Style: Parkland | Length: 7,082 yards | Par: 71 | Designer: Doug Carrick | Founded: 2007
Set on the breathtaking shores of Loch Lomond within Scotland’s iconic Trossachs National Park, The Carrick at Cameron House is a modern championship layout that delivers both visual drama and strategic intrigue.
Designed by renowned Canadian architect Doug Carrick, the course stretches over 7,000 yards and cleverly utilises the natural fault line dividing the Scottish Highlands and Lowlands, with nine holes routed through each landscape.

Regularly praised for its conditioning and playability, The Carrick has also hosted prestigious events including the Ladies Scottish Open and the PGA Cup, cementing its reputation as one of Scotland’s standout resort courses.
