The Par 71 course at Royal Troon stretches across 7,150 yards, serving as a testament to its storied history since its establishment in 1878. This exclusive club has held the prestigious Open Championships on multiple occasions, solidifying its reputation as a premier golfing destination. Among its renowned holes, the original Postage Stamp (No.8) stands out, forever etched in memory as the spot where Tiger Woods grappled with challenges during the 1997 tournament.
Renowned as one of Scotland's finest links courses, the Old Course at Royal Troon poses a formidable challenge to golfers, putting their skills to the ultimate test. Coping with the unpredictable coastal wind, navigating through the deep rough punctuated by gorse and broom, demands precision and accurate shot-making. Players often strive to build their scores on the outward nine holes, as the prevailing north-westerly wind can transform the back nine into a formidable challenge. Especially noteworthy is the demanding No. 13 hole, notorious for proving to be a stern test during the Open Championships.
In the realm of hospitality, the newly established Marine Troon presents an exquisite offering. Featuring 89 elegantly appointed guest rooms, an all-day bar and restaurant, and an opulent spa and fitness center complete with indoor pool, sauna, and steam rooms, it promises a haven of relaxation. Throughout your stay, indulge in unobstructed vistas of the breathtaking Ayrshire coastline, the picturesque Isle of Arran, and the iconic Royal Troon Golf Club—a distinguished host of The Open on nine occasions.
Epicurean delights await at The Rabbit and The Seal, the hotel's premier restaurant and bar, which celebrates the essence of Scotland's culinary prowess. Here, local suppliers and ingredients take center stage, weaving a tapestry of flavors that reflect the region's rich gastronomic heritage. Whether indulging in the art of golf or seeking refined relaxation, Royal Troon and Marine Troon offer an enchanting fusion of tradition, luxury, and natural splendor for all discerning enthusiasts.
