Old
Course
The first Open was played here in 1923 and since
then has woven itself into the very fabric of Scottish golf.
Tranquil views over the Firth of Clyde leading south to the
Ailsa Craig, this beauty disguises probably the toughest Open
venue of them all.
The
links contains one of the longest Par 5’s on the Open
rota. Its signature hole is the 8th, The Postage Stamp, the
shortest on the Open rota. Most of the holes will test your
game physically and mentally with consistent play required and
no favours given.
Portland Course
This
is a more sheltered and shorter links course than its Old Course
brother. Heavily protected with gorse with 5 Par 3’s and
four Par 5’s it offers a very enjoyable alternative to
the championship venue.
