This course, founded in 1851, is full of history, maybe because it was the first course to host the British Open in 1860. It was a 12 hole course instead of a 18 hole golf course. At this time the Open was played over 36 holes (3 times 12 holes). The trophy was a belt with red leather before becoming the famous “claret jug”. This is a lovely links course with lots of charm. A reel fun links course to play with lots of bumps. The 17th is the signature hole with its gigantic bunker. For information, both jacket and tie must be worn if you want to have the chance to enjoy a drink at the 19th hole.
