DESTINATION GOLF SCOTLAND 2025
Prestwick
Prestwick Golf Club is the Birthplace of The Open , and it celebrates its 175th anniversary in 2026 . It promises one of the most captivating rounds of golf you will ever play . It may be considered too short to accommodate the demands of today ’ s Open Championship , but that just makes it all the more playable for everybody else .
Its eclectic qualities have stood the test of time and make Prestwick a ‘ must play ’ links . These qualities include vast swathes of bunkering , some of which comes with railway-sleepered sides and steps to reach the bottom . How about blind shots which defy belief ? The up-and-over par three 5th , for example , is called Himalayas , and the approach to the 17th combines the two , with the hidden green defended by the notorious beach-sized bunker .
All in all , Prestwick ’ s landscape of crumpled dunes is home to an intriguing variety of holes and you must always be on your guard . Little has changed in over a century , so revel in that experience , before spending an hour in the clubhouse where history is king .
