'The Ayrshire' golf resort takes a major step forward

Plans to build a prestigious new multi-million pound links course in Irvine Bay have taken a major step forward.

The Ayrshire Golf Company has completed negotiations with Irvine Bay Regeneration Company to construct a new 18-hole links course complete with adjoining hotel and a selection of fraction-freehold holiday homes.

Here Brian Keating, Director of 'The Ayrshire', visits the site and outlines the vision.

Construction of the par 71 golf course and hotel facility with clubhouse, professionals shop, spa, restaurant and conference facilities is now expected to start next year (2010) and should see the creation of around 250 construction jobs once final planning permission has been obtained from North Ayrshire Council.
