PRESTWICK GOLF TOURS

Today's Open Championship venues are pretty familiar to most keen golfers, but the list is not set in stone, and a number of the tournament's formative years were in fact spent at Prestwick. The golfing paradise that is the Ayrshire coast is littered with treasures, but Prestwick remains at the forefront of the collection.

Since it first held the Open in 1860, Old Tom Morris' course at Prestwick has been part of golfing folklore. Today, the avid links golf lover should venture down the Ayrshire coast, adding names such as Turnberry, Western Gailes and Royal Troon to the mixing pot to produce a once-in-a-lifetime Prestwick golf tour.
