Attractions

Royal Troon is a world-renowned, historic links golf course and one of the most prestigious venues for The Open Championship. Famous for its demanding layout, strategic bunkers, and coastal winds, it features the iconic "Postage Stamp" par-3 hole. In addition to its famous Old Course, the club also offers other courses, including the Portland Course, and has hosted numerous major championships for both men and women.

The home to three fantastic courses:

• Darley – recently tamed, but still recognised as one of the most challenging courses to play to your handicap.
• Lochgreen – historical Open qualifier where Jack Nicklaus qualified for his first ever Open, a unique mix of links and parkland holes.
• Fullarton – the shortest of the three, where rounds often take less than three hours to complete. Ideal for the beginner, it still offers enough of a challenge for the more experienced golfer as accuracy is key on the short holes.

Robert Adam’s cliff-top masterpiece rises above a world of woods, beaches, secret follies and play parks

This glorious 260ha estate was once the playground of David Kennedy, 10th Earl of Cassillis – a man who was keen to impress with his wealth and status. Opulent to the extreme, the park is planted with conifers and beech, sculpted around miles of sandy coastline dotted with caves, and finished off with a Swan Pond, an ice house, flamboyant formal gardens and fruit-filled glasshouses.

The castle itself is perched on the Ayrshire cliffs, incorporating everything the earl could wish for in his country home. It was designed by Robert Adam in the late 18th century and is filled to the turrets with treasures that tell the stories of the people who lived here.
