This place has been the scene of victories for Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson, Tom Weiskopf (his lone major victory), and Henrik Stenson, whose Sunday round of 63 defeated Phil Mickelson's 65 to win The 145th Open. Although the course is lengthy, it is frequently commended for its rigorous yet equitable setup. Troon has the longest and shortest holes among Open venues: the 6th hole, named "Turnberry," is 601 yards long, and the 8th hole, dubbed "Postage Stamp," is 126 yards long.

Trump Turnberry
As evidenced by Turnberry's Ailsa Course, perfection cannot be rushed. Founded in 1902 but nearly disappeared after the Second World War when it was turned into an airbase with multiple holes filled in with concrete runways, almost causing it to vanish. Restored and reopened in 1951, it is now regarded as one of Scotland's best links, so much so that it hosted the 1977 Open, won by Tom Watson with a 65-65 weekend over Jack Nicklaus' 65-66. Before The Open in 2009, MacKenzie & Ebert made a lot of changes, and Ebert came back in 2015 to make a significant improvement. The outcome is amazing, especially (though not exclusively) on holes 9–11, which play across and along the bay with a view of the club’s famous lighthouse which includes an incredible two-bedroom suite and one of the most memorable halfway houses in golf.
Gleneagles PGA Centenary
Gleneagles PGA Centenary Course, nestled amid the rolling hills of Perthshire, Scotland just one hour’s drive from the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. Jack Nicklaus described the PGA Centenary course as the “finest parcel of land in the world I’ve been given to work with” and he’s certainly done it proud. Host to both the Ryder Cup 2014 and Solheim Cup 2019, this masterpiece of a course offers a stern challenge in a fabulous setting. Foodies will have no shortage of options thanks to four restaurants, including Scotland's only two-star Andrew Fairlie Restaurant. The resort offers a variety of outdoor activities like shooting, salmon fishing, off-road driving, horseback riding, gun dog training, and guided hiking in addition to first-rate spa and wellness amenities.
Dumbarnie Links
Dumbarnie Links was selected to host the Women's Scottish Open on the Ladies European Tour in 2021 after quickly establishing a stellar reputation. less than two years after it opened to the public, Designed by architect Clive Clark, this contemporary, elite Championship links course is situated on a magnificent piece of coastal land that runs between Elie and Lundin. With fourteen of the holes offering unobstructed views of the water across the Firth of Forth as it winds through a mile and a half of true links terrain. Constructed across 345 acres of the Balcarres Estate, the course boasts several tees and greens situated near the water, as well as intriguing elevation changes. Dumbarnie Links boasts an astounding twelve tee box configurations. Professionals can extend the course to 7,600 yards, but for average players, the shorter setups offer plenty of fun, including three possible driveable par-4s and several risk-reward opportunities.
