Prestwick is an absolute joy!
Prestwick Golf Club is situated on the Ayrshire coast.
"A stretch of land unequalled anywhere in the world for prime golfing terrain."
Prestwick shares it boundaries with Royal Troon and is just 20 minutes from Turnberry,
with wonderful courses like Kilmarnock Barassie, Glasgow Gailes, Western Gailes and
Irvine all within just 5 minutes drive.
If golf history interests you - Prestwick Golf Club will blow your mind!
The first ever Open Championship was held here - won by Willie Park.
Young Tom Morris won his third Open here - in 1870.
He started with a three at the 578 yard first hole- in those days a par 6!
This entire region lives and breathes golf - and Prestwick is at the heart of it all!
Prestwick is also probably the most welcoming of all the great Scottish courses - a
must visit!
Most of the world's golfers have never heard of Machrihanish - but that is their loss!
This golf course is easily good enough to host a major championship - but it is unlikely ever to happen.
This is due to the location - on a small island which couldn't cope with the massive influx of visitors that a major
championship brings. But for individual golfers and small groups/societies this is a must visit.

Royal Aberdeen, on Scotland's east coast, is golfing masterpiece.
Not as famous as some Scottish courses - but as good as any of them!
If you are heading up the east coast - maybe going to Dornoch - you really should treat
yourself to a round or two at the Royal Aberdeen.
Stunning scenery, and a REALLY good test of your golfing skill.
