Characteristics
Royal Troons Old Course is one of the great links courses in Scotland. The Old Course is a challenging test of golfing ability. With the wind to contend with, and deep rough interspersed with gorse and broom, accurate shot making is essential. Players should make their scores on the outward nine, as the prevailing north-westerly wind can make the back nine extremely difficult.
Royal Troons Portland Course is shorter & friendlier than the Old, but still a true links challenge. Designed by the Troon professional Willie Fernie, winner of the Open Championship in 1883, the Portland Course was opened in 1895 and subsequently redesigned by Dr Alister MacKenzie in the early 1920’s. The Portland is a little more sheltered than the Old Course and, of course, shorter. The holes meander through terrain filled with gorse and broom with a generous helping of Par 3s and Par 5s.
