New golf course boss looks to the future

Jul 3 2009 by Stuart Wilson

THE new woman behind Brunston Castle golf course has pledged to make it one of South Ayrshire’s best.

Cheryl Steven believes she can lead the Dailly course to great things in her role as general manager.

The 31-year-old said: “I have a fantastic team of employees and an excellent golf professional in Stuart Smith, and together we aim to put Brunston Castle golf course back on the map as the best parkland golf course in South Ayrshire.

“Hardly anywhere else in the world is there such an abundance of fine courses as those found in Ayrshire – the world-renowned championship links layouts like Prestwick, Turnberry and Royal Troon all spring to mind.

“However, Ayrshire boasts some real hidden gems, one of which being our very own Brunston Castle golf course, designed by the legendary golf course architect Donald Steel.

“The course’s blossoming reputation was underlined when chosen to host the Scottish Youths Amateur Championships in 2004 and the Scottish Boys and Girls Championships in 2007.”
