Prestwick Golf Course
18 holes, 71 par, 6668 yards. Links.
The 18 hole golf course was stretched by Old Tom Morris to meet golfing standards but the traditional essence of the old course still remains with many of the original greens still in play. Natural obstacles make for a testing game of golf, including The River Pow, which flows freely through the course. A putting green and driving range are available for guests to practice their techniques in preparation for a memorable game of golf.
The clubhouse underwent a major refurbishment and extension in 2001 to provide golfers with the perfect resting place after a challenging game of golf. Its character and history highlights an extensive collection of memorabilia which wonderfully illustrates the history of golf.
Portland Course
18 holes, 70 par, 6289 yards. Links.
The Portland Course, also a links, 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 however, with four par 5's, all of which are on the back nine.
Old Course
18 holes, 71 par, 7119 yards. Links.
The Royal Troon Old Course has held The Open Championship seven times. It is one of the great links courses in Scotland and 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.
Dundonald Links
18 holes, 72 par, 7300 yards. Links.
Formerly known as Southern Gailes, this superb new course sits in prime links land adjacent to Western Gailes with Glasgow Gailes to the north and Kilmarnock Brassie to the south. It has been hailed as an equal to Kingsbarns and unsurprisingly, was designed by Kyle Phillips. A classic links, it has been recognised as one of the best new courses in the world (Robb Report 2004). Phillips’ aim was to create a championship course that played and felt like an old rediscovered course and most observers believe he’s accomplished this.
