Royal Troon Golf Club
Royal Troon
Royal Troon is a course in the current Open rota. Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson and Tom Weiskopf (his only win in a major) have won here as did Henrik Stenson whose Sunday round of 63 outlasted Phil Mickelson’s 65 to claim The 145th Open. A long links that is consistently praised for its testing but fair set up. Troon boasts the shortest hole among Open venues, being the “Postage Stamp” 8th at 126 yards. The layout gives you a chance to find your game with a gentle opening but the inward nine is considered one of the most difficult sides in major championship golf.
