The sandy turf that adorns the Ayrshire coastline is the basis for some of the purest links courses to be found anywhere in the UK and Ireland. The courses are not particularly complicated, simply utilising the astonishing natural terrain to produce golf from the top drawer, it is truly a golfing mecca.
Championship golf is guaranteed but the region is also the birthplace of Robert Burns and is steeped in history, with numerous castles and viking setllements to explore off the course.
The purest links at the best value. You have the rich history of Royal Troon, the home of the first ever Open at Prestwick Old and, who could forget? The Ailsa, the Dual in the Sun and Open history written on those greens. Now don't get yourself lost in all the big names, the hidden gems are well worth getting up in the morning for.
Western Gailes, Dundonald Links both feature in the UK top 100 golf courses (and rightly so!), no pomp just great golf. The magical unknown? Then play Kilmarnock Barassie, Irvine Bogside and Belleisle Golf Club.
