Royal Troon Golf Club
This prestigious club came into being in 1878, when twenty-three members from Prestwick went their own way and built this splendid links course. Today it is one of the great Open venues, having last hosted the event in 2016. It is favoured for its quirky greens and long holes that can make for low scoring or quite the opposite! Royal Troon has the shortest hole of all the Open venues: the 126-yard eighth hole - called ‘the Postage Stamp’ because of its tiny green. Miss a green at Troon and, quite simply, you drop a shot. Troon is surely one of the world’s great golfing shrines.
