Royal Troon
Troon
Open Championship links with the Postage Stamp, one of the shortest and most feared holes in championship golf.
Kintyre, Ayrshire & The West Coast
Machrihanish Golf Club
Remote and romantic, with a celebrated opening drive across the beach.
Machrihanish sits near the end of the Kintyre peninsula, and the journey is part of the adventure. The opening hole is famous: a drive across the corner of Machrihanish Bay, carrying as much beach as you dare.
The dunes are big and the setting remote and romantic. Machrihanish Dunes, a modern course next door, adds a second fine round.
