Founded in 1851, Prestwick Golf Club is considered one of the birthplaces of modern golf. Throughout its history, Prestwick has hosted many important championships, including the first 12 Open Championships.

With a proud history that dates back over 170 years, Prestwick St Nicholas can be found just a stone's throw away from the famous courses at Royal Troon and Prestwick.

Royal Aberdeen is a traditional out and back links layout, with the first nine running parallel with the shores of the North Sea and the back nine moving inland and to higher ground.

In 1886, Old Tom Morris extended the course from 9 to 18-holes and whilst doing so, also introduced the plateau greens which remain one of the key features today.

Royal Troon was founded in 1878 as a five-hole golf course. Troon’s first professional, George Strath, extended the course to 18-holes by 1884 and it was later redesigned and lengthened by Willie Fearne James Braid.

Located in Dumfries and Galloway, Southerness is a course that might be new to many golfers. Established in 1947 it is ‘young’ by links standards, but has quickly built a reputation as one of the must visit courses in Scotland.

Located within the Macdonald Aviemore Resort, the course opened in 2006. Sitting at 7,153 yards it’s no pushover. The 5th hole is in fact one of the longest holes in Scotland, measuring 635 yards.

The Carrick is part of the renowned Cameron House Resort, where golfers are guaranteed a very warm welcome and a wonderful array of restaurants and bars in which they can relive their tales of the links.

The Castle Course was designed by architect David McLay Kidd in 2008 and was the seventh addition to the Links Trust’s portfolio. Since then, it has become one of the must-play links courses for avid golfers from around the world.

The Eden Course was originally designed by the legendary golf course architect, Harry Colt, in 1914. Colt was famous for creating large and contoured greens, designed to help them drain properly and remain dry throughout the year.

Established in 1897, the Jubilee Course at St. Andrews is the third oldest course at the Home of Golf and is considered by many to be the most challenging of them all.

The Machrie boasts a rich history that dates back to 1891. It has since undergone several improvements, most notably by DJ Russell in 2018 who has helped further transform it into a world-class links.
