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.

Known as the most difficult Open venue course, “Carnasty” as people call it, is not a course for high handicaps.
Designed by Old Tom Morris and later extended by James Braid, this legendary golf course is a fantastic test of golf for good players with fast, true and excellent greens all year round.
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.

This famous course regularly plays host to the British Open and will host the Open again in July 2009. This is a really big test for Golfers with spectacular holes overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Like St Andrews, Turnberry is ranked in the top 10 of the best golf courses in the world, which shows the scope of this incredible place. Probably the most scenic golf course in the whole of Scotland, it has to be experience at least once in a lifetime. There is a second course available called the Kintyre which beautifully complements the Ailsa course.

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.
