Ardfin, Isle of Jura

Opened in 2017 following six years of construction, the course required 24,000 tonnes of sand and soil transported by boat from Northern Ireland to build playing surfaces on ground previously considered unsuitable for golf course development.

Experience clifftop golf across terrain where Harrison spent six years developing 14 different routing concepts before finalising the current layout. This remains one of Scotland's most exclusive venues, with fewer than 1,000 golfers having played the course since opening.

Australian hedge fund manager Greg Coffey purchased the Ardfin Estate from the Riley-Smith brewing family in November 2010 for £3.5 million. Harrison, who spent 21 years as lead designer for Greg Norman Golf Course Design in Asia-Pacific before establishing his independent practice in 2009, received Coffey's initial enquiry in 2011 and made the first of 27 site visits to Jura over the subsequent six-year period.
