The west coast of Scotland is rich in links history. Prestwick is where The Open began, the championship first staged on its wonderful turf in 1860. Royal Troon – home to The Open on nine occasions and the 2020 AIG Women’s Open host – is simply special. Turnberry, another Open venue, Dundonald Links, Glasgow Gailes, Kilmarnock (Barassie) and Western Gailes ooze quality too. Across the water lies Arran, offering seven courses and the renowned 12-hole layout at Shiskine. With a rich golfing heritage and courses designed by legendary architects, Ayrshire captivates golfers with its beauty, history, and the timeless allure of the game.
