The Open Courses in Scotland
This is the ''Home of Golf''. The Old Course has played host to the greatest golfers and produced many of golf's dramatic moments. Wide double fairways, seven extensive double greens, and a multitude of intimidating bunkers are just some of the unique features you will encounter. Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods each hoisted the Claret Jug on two occasions here and Bobby Jones claimed The Open here. Negotiating the Valley of Sin at the short par 4 18th always makes for a tasty finish.

Carnoustie Golf Links, Championship Course:
While the links is relatively flat it is exposed to the elements. A combination of length and accuracy are required as golfers face narrow corridors from the tee. Approach shots demand precision to the greens heavily guarded by steep bunkers and burns. Arguably the toughest finishing holes in championship golf, errant shots are severely penalized. Ben Hogan won The Open at Carnoustie in his lone appearance, in 1953. Tom Watson and Gary Player also hoisted the Claret Jug here.

Muirfield
Legends of the game have raised high the Claret Jug at Muirfield. Vardon, Hagen, Player, Nicklaus, Trevino, Watson, Faldo (twice), Els and Mickelson claimed The Open on this magnificent course that's consistently identified an elite golfer from the era to emerge as Champion Golfer of the Year. Recent enhancements by noted architect Martin Hawtree should enable the course to remain relevant for decades to come. The 18th is one of the best finishing holes in golf, a daunting par-4.

Trump Turnberry Resort, Ailsa Course:
The course underwent a significant renovation and opened as a new layout in June 2016. Lying on a spectacular curve of rockbound coast in the southern reaches of Ayrshire. The course now makes the most of the coastal scenery especially from the 4th through the 11th passing the famous landmark lighthouse at the turn, which is now a stunning halfway house. This is a demanding links course, and an ever present wind will make for a tough examination of your golfing skills.

Royal Troon Golf Club, Old Course:
It is consistently praised for its testing but fair set up. A long and demanding links, Troon unusually boasts both the longest and the shortest holes in The Open, being the Postage Stamp 8th at 126 yards, and the 6th at 577 yards 6th named Turnberry. The inward nine is considered the most difficult side in The Open rota. Henrik Stenson outdueled Phil Mickelson in an epic battle for The 145th Open played in excellent scoring conditions.
