World ranking: 18
Scottish ranking: 5
Number of British Open:
28
Architect: Unknown
Creation date: circa 1410
Par: 72
Distance from Edinburgh: 75 km
Distance from Glasgow: 155 km
Distance from Inverness: 240 km

The world famous golf course is a classic links course. Here Golf began 600 years ago, on public land, to which everyone can have access.

In the top 5 of the best courses in the world, the Old course is totally unique for two reasons; firstly because of its long history and secondly because golfers have to play certain shots here that they will play nowhere else, (for example, a 60 metres putt!).

The name of the architect is unknown but mother-nature has shaped this magnificent piece of land over the centuries, like most Scottish golf courses.

The land is flat and has gigantic greens, with seven greens shared between two holes each.

The course is also characterised by shared fairways, 112 Scottish deep bunkers and many “blind” shots.

At only 6,041 yards (from the championship tees), the Old course is not an easy course, especially when the wind decides to become part of the game.

You will enjoy certain special parts of the course such as the “hell bunker”, the “road hole”, the “swilican bridge”, and the opportunity to start and finish your round in town.

Scottish people like to remember a French story from 1999!!! when Jean Van de Velde lost the Open, after being 3 shots ahead as he came to the last hole. It is well worth the visit, only 30 minutes North of St Andrews.

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.

Designed by Old Tom Morris in 1876, this tremendous golf course is very far from the big cities. The most picturesque golf courses are often located in remote places.
