Royal Troon Golf Club overview
Golf courses at Royal Troon Golf Club
Old Course
Royal Troon, a current Open Championship venue is one of the best links courses in the UK & Ireland. Situated on the south-west coast of Scotland near Prestwick, it was founded in 1878 by some golf-loving locals, with subsequent improvements by Willie Fernie and then later James Braid to create what is today. A traditional out and back links course, it has been a major championship venue since 1923, offering one of The Open’s sterner challenges to the professionals.
Portland Course
The Portland Course, originally designed by the Troon professional William Fernie, winner of the Open Championship in 1883, was opened in 1895 and subsequently redesigned by Dr Alister MacKenzie in the early 1920s.
