The Club

Prestwick Golf Club is steeped in history. It was founded in 1851 and is the birthplace of The Open and the first one was held here in 1860. The original 12 hole course (much of which remains intact) held the first twelve Open Championships from 1860 – 1872.

The club is situated just half an hour south west of Glasgow on the famous golfing Ayrshire coast. A stretch of land unequalled anywhere in the world for prime golfing terrain. Prestwick shares it boundaries with Royal Troon and is just 20 minutes from Turnberry, with Open final qualifying courses such as Kilmarnock Barassie, Glasgow Gailes, Western Gailes and Irvine Bogside all within just 5 minutes drive.
