  • Scotland for Golf – Ayrshire Area
    Scotland for Golf – Ayrshire area Royal Troon Golf Club Founded in 1878, the club now has 3 courses and hosted the Open Championship on 8 occasions since 1923. The 2 x 18 hole courses are only open to visitors on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. The Old Course One of the great links courses in Scotland, the Old Course is a challenging test of golfing ability. With the wind to contend with, and deep rough interspersed with gorse and broom, accurate shot making is essential. Players should make their scores on the outward nine, as the prevailing north-westerly wind can make the back nine extremely difficult. Portland Course Although a links course, the Portland is a little more sheltered than the Old Course and, of course, shorter. The holes meander through terrain filled with gorse and broom and has a generous helping of Par 3's, five in all. This is tempered with four Par 5's, all of which are on the back nine. Prestwick Golf Club Venue of the first Open Championship in 1860, hickory shafts and a gutty golf ball. Six of the Prestwick Golf Club hosted its 24th and final original greens are still played on today. Open Championship in 1925. The club also hosed 11 Amateur Championships between 1888 and 2001. A stone cairn to the west of the Clubhouse, marks the first tee of the original 12 hole course, on which the first Open was played. The 1st hole measured 578 yards to what is now the 16th green, where in 1870 Tom Morris Jr.
