Overview
Why it matters
Royal Troon's Old Course is a links of two moods. The opening holes move with a certain seaside grace, giving players views, rhythm, and the illusion of control before the famous inward half turns into prevailing wind and tighter questions.
The Postage Stamp eighth may be the postcard, but Troon's lasting power comes from the full championship examination: bunkers that punish imprecision, fairways that demand shape, and a closing stretch where every flighted iron feels consequential. It is classic Ayrshire golf with Open Championship gravity.

Marcus Ainsley
★★★★★
The Postage Stamp is even more intimidating in person, but the entire inward nine is the real memory.
Eleanor Bryce
★★★★★
A beautifully stern links day: polished club atmosphere, serious wind, and no weak holes once the turn arrives.
