Darley is one of Troon's less illustrious links courses but provides an excellent golfing challenge at an affordable price and easy access seven days a week. At just under 6500 from the back and just over six thousand from the front the course is fairly easy on the limbs but still provides some excellent golf holes.

The burn comes into play on a number of holes and there are quite a few blind approaches. The rough is a bit tougher in spots than neighbouring Lochgreen and driving probably has to be a little more accurate. Quality of greens is excellent; after the first hole the course moves north providing four excellent short par three each with different hazards around them.

The par fours are relatively short with only three over four hundred yards but not necessarily easy to hit. The course is well worth a visit and with the Three Day Golf Pass makes an excellent few days golf when combined with Lochgreen and nearby Belleisle. Like its sister course Lochgreen the green fees are super value at under £20 and it can be played on an unlimited golf pass - £60 for three days; £85 for five days. The course shares its clubhouse facilities with Lochgreen and Fullarton.
