Royal Troon Golf Club came into being in 1878, when twenty-three members from Prestwick went their own way and built this splendid links course. Today it is one of the great Open venues, having last hosted the event in 2024. It is favoured for its quirky greens and long holes that can make for low scoring or quite the opposite! Royal Troon has the shortest hole of all the Open venues: the 126-yard eighth hole – called ‘the Postage Stamp’ because of its tiny green. Miss a green at Troon and, quite simply, you drop a shot. Troon is surely one of the world’s great golfing shrines.

Situated to the south of Royal Dornoch, Tain is a heathland/links course with spectacular views. Designed originally by Old Tom Morris as a fifteen-hole course in 1890, it was extended to eighteen holes in 1894; eleven Morris holes are still in play today. This is an easy walking course with the river meandering through three of the holes. Always presented in beautiful condition, Tain is a good test of golf, with clever bunkering and natural water hazards. Tain is located 35 miles north of Inverness.
