Formally opened 15 August 1908.  A 9-hole course on the lower Geisgeir lands adjacent to the White Hart Hotel, Port Ellen.  The course was relatively short with holes ranging from 137 to 305 yds but required great accuracy.  It was owned by the Misses M’Cuaig, whose father, Mr Lachlan McCuaig, was one of the chief promoters of the course at Machrie and was treasurer of the club.
