I've never played it. I do recall I had an email exchange a few years ago with one of their members who was trying to research their history. The course that is there now is not the original course as its moved a few times (at least once and from memory maybe twice). Anyway, you can see a fair bit of it on google maps street view. It looks OK for a bit of a knock if you were passing and you wanted to stretch some muscles. Not sure it's worth much more than that but always happy to be proved wrong.

Yes, something is up. On the Scotland Golf Map Tarbert is pinned just off the A83. I think I can see vestiges of a course near the A83.

And, if you search for Tarbert Golf Club on Google Earth, there is a ‘Tarbert Golf Club’ Pin miles away at Kilberry adjacent to a few grass fields which defo look like there was a Course there at one time. According to Club website, they’ve been at present site since 1926.

If you're looking at google maps follow the A83 going SW out of Tarbert and about 1.25km from the centre of Tarbert ie from the harbour, there is a road on the right (just after 5 Ferries Cycle Shop). Follow that road for just over half a kilometre to where it meets the B8024. There is a course on either side of the junction. I assume that's the Tarbert course.


From memory one of the earlier courses was located to the north of Tarbert near the Stonefield Hotel which is hard to imagine given how thick and established the trees are but then again it would have been over a hundred years ago when the course was there.

Yep, that is the location tagged on the golf map. According to the Tarbert website the courde is much further west, near Kilberry Sculptured Stones. Although the course looks a bit abandoned.

I'm not sure what golf map you are referring to, is it David Jones ? As for the directions I posted above, there are similar on the club website that are more or less the same so I'm a bit confused.
