Open number 1

A great links course on which Old Tom Morris, Willie Park and record Open winner Harry Vardon have already played and won at the Open! In 1860, the Prestwick Old Course was the first open course on which the oldest major tournament in the world was held 24 times!
You can feel the history of golf in every corner of the entire complex!
Unique experience!!!

Grandios Links Course

Prestwick OC on 24.4.2019

Already the arrival in the truly time-honored clubhouse is impressive. Spacious club rooms and quality locker rooms. The Proshop well sorted.
In addition this grandiose Links Course. Tea 1 directly between the clubhouse and the train station.
It takes good nerves for a successful first tee.
Afterwards, the front nine railroad tracks along the railroad tracks, to the airfield, which caught our attention early in the offshore wind through the noise and the perfume of kerosene and tire abrasion.
The Back Nine lead almost back to the clubhouse.
The round can be played comparably well with caddies or loan trolleys in our experience. The ball losses were equally pleasantly high in both cases...
Afterwards we had a lot to talk about with beer and sandwiches in the club restaurant.

So must be left

We played the pitch last week and were more than thrilled. Nice reception, nice store, unfortunately no driving range at the clubhouse.
We played with Caddy, which paid off quickly. Through the partial, non-observing pathways, one knows at least where to go theoretically. The totally blind holes "Himalaya" and "The Alps" again confirmed our decision.
The place was good playable, the wind was within limits, the greens were not super fast but properly onduliert. The Caddy also helped here, by showing us the line.
All in all an extraordinary golfing day.
