Lochgreen is one of three public golf courses sharing the same piece of links land in Troon. With some of the holes running adjacent to Royal Troon’s Portland Course, you have some idea of the quality of the terrain. The course is an excellent test of golf with the courses stretching to 6822 of the back tees.

The par of 74 is generous and the SSS of 71 off the standard tees reflects this. Five par fives and three par threes gives ample variety and some of the shorter par fours give an opportunity to make a good score. There are some narrow fairways with well placed bunkers although depending on the time of year the rough can be quite forgiving.

The course is superbly maintained and the greens and bunkers are invariably in excellent condition. Lochgreen like South Ayrshire Council’s other flagship courses are not what you would expect from a municipal course and indeed was a regular host to Open Qualifying competitions in the past. Clubhouse and changing facilities are adequate and catering affordable.
