The best golf courses in Ayrshire include no fewer than three Open Championship venues. Prestwick the original Open Course, Turnberry, the scene of the infamous Duel in the Sun and who can forget Mickelson and Stenson going head to head on the final day at Royal Troon.

The coastline sometimes feels like it is one big golf course stretching from Largs down to Girvan. Stay on-site at the magnificent Turnberry Resort and the brand new lodges at Dundonald, or in town at hotels such as the Marine or Gailes Hotel. Wherever you stay you will be a stones throw from abundance of World Class golf courses rich in history.
