Golf: Royal Troon Golf Club | Ayrshire Coast, Scotland
3
Details
Today you'll experience one of the most respected and challenging venues in championship golf. Established in 1878 and proudly situated along Scotland's rugged Ayrshire coastline, Royal Troon has hosted some of the most memorable moments in Open Championship history and remains a cornerstone of The Open rota.
Renowned for its classic out-and-back links design, Troon offers a fascinating contrast between its outward and inward nines. While the front nine invites opportunity, the inward journey is widely regarded as one of the most demanding stretches in championship golf, requiring precision, patience, and strategic shot-making in the face of ever-changing coastal conditions.
No visit to Royal Troon would be complete without standing on the tee of the legendary 8th hole, "The Postage Stamp." At just 123 yards, it is the shortest hole in Open Championship golf, yet its tiny green and formidable bunkers have humbled the world's greatest players for generations.
Royal Troon also provided the stage for one of golf's most unforgettable championships—Henrik Stenson's historic victory over Phil Mickelson at The 145th Open in 2016, a final-round duel widely considered one of the greatest head-to-head battles in major championship history.
Steeped in tradition, championship pedigree, and unforgettable moments, Royal Troon delivers an authentic links golf experience that belongs on every golfer's bucket list.
