Founded in 1878, this course is a little jewel on the coast located in the town of Troon. The course has staged many British Opens. The back nine is one of the most difficult in the world of Golf and provides terrific “suspense” when the open is hosted in Troon. Hole number 8, a par 3 called the “postage stamp”, is famous, and as its name suggests, it is very small and difficult to hit, especially when the wind is high. Two more golf courses are available at Troon Golf Club. The Portland course which is a links course, and Craigend course which is a par 3 course.
