One of the three South Ayrshire Council Courses in the town of Troon and perhaps the least well known of all the courses in this Mecca for golfers. it is small compared to its neighbouring courses but nevertheless provides visitors with the ideal venue to warm up on before going to tackle its bigger name sisters.

The longest hole is the first at 434 yards and the course represents great value for money golf at around ten pounds. The course is great practice for the links short game with small greens , tricky bunkers and a plethora of par threes and accommodating par fours. Short it may be, easily overcome it is not.

The course is best played as a leisurely warm up in the morning prior to a tilt at Lochgreen or Darley. The clubhouse which shares with Darley and Lochgreen has newly upgraded changing rooms and offers full catering facilities.

A tip for golfers wishing to play on any of the three Municipal courses is that they are adjoining the main Railway station and for visitors staying in any destinations served by the Glasgow/Ayr/Kilmarnock train services there really is no need to take the car or hire a minibus leaving the pleasant problem of deciding which train to take home over an extra whisky in the clubhouse.
