Royal Troon’s Old Course follows a classic out-and-back route along the Ayrshire coast, with views across the Firth of Clyde towards the Isle of Arran. The opening holes run close to the shoreline before the course turns through heavier dunes and begins its demanding journey back towards the clubhouse.

The short par-three 8th, known as the Postage Stamp, is surrounded by deep bunkers and stands among golf’s most famous holes. It is followed by the formidable Railway hole, while the closing stretch is often played into the prevailing wind. A celebrated host of The Open Championship, Royal Troon combines iconic moments with a stern and enduring test.
