Bogside, Irvine, Ayrshire.
You can stay at the following hotels: The Gailes Hotel & Restaurant, Parkstone Hotel, Ramada Ayr and The Marine Hotel Troon.
At just over 6,400 yards, this isn’t the longest course, but the heavy spread of gorse and heather, the deep bunkers and numerous blind shots make this a true test of golf.
Of all the Open Championship qualifying courses in the area, this is said to be the trickiest.
A tricky but thoroughly rewarding round of golf, and a worthy addition to any golf break.
