THE TROON EXPERIENCE The Old Course at Royal Troon is one of the greatest Links courses in Scotland, hosting The Open Championship on nine occasions. It challenges golfers of all abilities, with wind and deep rough interspersed with gorse and broom. Accurate shot making is essential. The Portland Course was opened in 1895 and subsequently redesigned by Dr Alister MacKenzie in the early 1920s. Although a links course, 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 and it has a generous helping of Par 3s, five in all. This is tempered however, with five Par 5s, four of which are on the back nine. The course is often overshadowed by its sister course, but with excellent rates and availability, golfers will enjoy a top quality links game on a course that is kept to Royal Troon standards.
