Royal Troon Golf Club, Old course will stage the Open Championship on Jul 18 - 21.
Many holes at Troon, it is said, are "as full of wickedness as they are of beauty." And most wicked of them all is the infamous par-3 8th, better known as the Postage Stamp. Superb revetted bunkering and fast true greens are clear indicators of the high-quality greenkeeping the Portland and Old course at Royal Troon receive. Magnifying the pleasures of your round at Royal Troon are glorious views out across the Firth of Clyde, the Isle of Arran and Ailsa Craig (to the south).
But don't expect every day to be dry, sunny and warm. This fabulous seaside links, with its impeccable pedigree of hosting major championships, is not surprisingly one of the world's most highly regarded golf courses.
