Founded in 1878, Royal Troon is as charming as it is exhilarating. Before hosting its very first Open Championship, the course was redesigned, made longer and overall better by five-time open champion, leading architect and World Golf Hall of Fame member James Braid. Needless to say it went down a treat. Today, Royal Troon has hosted nine Opens, with the most recent occurring in 2016. From the longest holes to the shortest, ever-changing terrain, stellar sea views, and the priceless 11th hole, or ‘The Railway’ (one of the most tricky holes in major championship golf), this one is always a winner.
