Many of us have played it.  Try the search engine for sample opinions.  Here's one set:  http://golfclubatlas.com/forum/index.php/topic,25327.msg470305/topicseen/

IMO, it's a fun course with a lot of quirk that is the only "must play" if you find yourself on Arran, which you will not do by accident.....

Paul:

Funky and quirky -- lots of fun, I played it as part of an itinerary that took me through Arran (via the Cal-Mac ferry system) on my way to Machrihanish. Arran has seven courses, some 9, some 18, and the fun 12-holer Shiskine. Arran is a really cool place -- sometimes called Scotland in minature, the southern half of the island is relatively flat while the northern half is quite rugged. As fun as Shiskine is, the best single view on a golf course on Arran is at the 9-hole Corrie course, where the second tee shot finds you staring though a valley with Goat Fell, the island's tallest peak, looming in the distance. But Shiskine is the best course on the island.

That's the same thread Andrew referred to directly above your post.  It's a good thread, but not so great as to be posted twice......

Rihc,

I think you need a lobotomy.
