Royal Troon Golf Club

2024 Open Championship host

Founded in 1878, and host to the 2024 Open Championship, Royal Troon is a traditional ‘out and back’ links course. After a relatively gentle start to your round with a series of short par fours running along the Firth of Clyde, the course offers a true challenge of links golf with the stretch of holes from 7 through 13 providing an interesting and tasty challenge.

Line off the tee is more important than distance with extensive bunkering, deep rough and gorse bushes punishing any wayward shot! Make your score on the outward front nine – the inward nine holes are severe and often played into the prevailing northwest wind. The par 5 sixth hole is the longest in the Open Championship rota and the famous par 3 8th, ‘The Postage Stamp, is the shortest par 3 at 123 yards.
