Royal Troon Golf course

Walk in the Footsteps of Legends

An Iconic Open Championship Venue

Virtually on the doorstep of Blackrock House lies the hallowed turf of Royal Troon Golf Club, one of the world's most revered and historic golfing destinations. Founded in 1878 and granted its royal designation a century later, this legendary club is a prominent fixture on the Open Championship rota. The Old Course provides a quintessential and uncompromising Scottish links experience, seamlessly testing the world's greatest players with its classic out-and-back design along the breathtaking Ayrshire coastline.

The Postage Stamp and the Brutal Back Nine

While every hole at Troon tells a story, it is the short 8th, the world-famous "Postage Stamp" that captures every golfer's imagination. Measuring a deceptively short 123 yards to a tiny, heavily bunkered green, it is one of the most iconic and nerve-wracking par-threes in the sport. Surviving the front nine is only half the battle; players must then turn into the prevailing wind to face a brutal, undulating back nine flanked by deep gorse and punishing fairway traps, demanding absolute precision on every single stroke.

A Premier Experience from Fairway to Clubhouse

• The Portland Course: For those looking for a slightly gentler but equally scenic challenge, the club's second course offers a brilliant alternative layout featuring shorter par-fours and clever architectural quirks.
• Historic Clubhouse: After tackling the final green, the grand, traditional clubhouse offers an atmospheric space to soak in over a century of major championship history, from Arnold Palmer's triumph to modern-day duels.
• Unbeatable Proximity: Because Blackrock House sits centrally in Troon, your group can transition effortlessly from a luxurious morning breakfast straight to the first tee box in a matter of minutes.
