RoyalTroon

Boasting two different courses; The Portland and The Old Course, Royal Troon exceeds expectations and is a challenge even to a master of the sport. Founded in 1878 by a few enthusiasts, Troon Golf Club outgrew its local reputation. Royal Troon is widely accepted as the most demanding of any course on the Championship rota. Players on the Old Course should make their scores on the outward nine, as the prevailing north-westerly wind can make the back nine extremely difficult. With the wind to contend with, and deep rough interspersed accurate shot making is essential. The Portland is a little more sheltered than the Old Course and, of course, shorter. The holes meander through terrain filled with gorse and broom and has a generous helping of Par 3s, five in all.

Prestwick Golf Club, the Birthplace of the Open Championship, welcomes all golfers from around the world. Situated on a stretch of golfing terrain unrivalled in the world and is a must play for any discerning lover of the game. The history of Prestwick Golf Course stretches back over 160 years and the Open Championship has been staged here on 24 occasions. There are numerous blind holes and cavernous sleeping bunkers and the greens are notoriously firm and fast.

Please contact our Concierge Desk for course prices and further information

The reputation of Western Gailes as one of the game’s finest and more exacting courses has spread worldwide as evidenced by its numerous visitors from around the world including golfing legends from this and the last century. The course is situated between the railway and the sea, so typical of the classic Ayrshire links courses, with both being very much in play for the errant golfer. It is also special amongst seaside courses that are no more than two holes wide, in having its clubhouse in a more or less central position leaving seven holes to the north and eleven to the south. Together with the line of dunes running down the coastal stretch from the 5th to the 13th holes, the out of bounds wall from the 14th onwards, the plentiful supply of bunkers plus the meandering burns, all combine to present variety and a memorable challenge.

AWalk SouthfromPortpatrick

Lake a switchback moorland road down to a secluded bay and walk back along the scenic clifftop path via a romantic castle ruin in the Rhins of Galloway area of Wigtownshire. Written for Walkingworld by Tony Brotherton. From the little port-resort of Portpatrick in the Rhins of Galloway, this scenic walk heads south on a moorland by road and visits a secluded seaside hotel at Knockinaam, where refreshments are available, then returns past the ruinous Dunskey Castle in its dramatic clifftop setting. The coastal scenery, together with birdlife and flowers a-plenty, make this a walk to remember.Access: Enter Portpatrick on the A77, along main street and down to the harbour. Turn left to park in the large free car park alongside the old lighthouse. There are also car parking spaces around the inner harbour.

Bus 367 from Stranraer

The second stage of the Ayrshire Coastal Path follows the sandy and rocky shoreline before running alongside the busy A77.

Terrain: Surfaced roads, sandy beaches and grassy roadside verges.

Time: 3.5 - 4 hours

Route Description: Stage 1: From the car park at the southern end of Ballantrae head north along the sandy beach to reach the port until larger modern fishing boats outgrow it and herring stocks declined.

Ayrshire Path - Dunure to Ayr

Email: info@glenappcastle.com

A trickier section of the Ayrshire Coastal Path, featuring some sections of hard walking on rocky and slippery foreshore, though beautiful tiny harbours and the potential for some panoramic coastal views reward the intrepid walker. It is essential to check tide times beforeleaving Dunure Harbour - a high spring tide will necessitate a bit of a wait or a tricky scramble.

Terrain: Sandy and rocky beaches, muddy/grassy farm tracks and promenade. Time: 4.5 - 5 hours

Route description: Stage 1: After leaving Kennedy Park spend some time exploring the ruins of Dunure Castle, the main Kennedy stronghold in the 16th century though dating from far earlier.

Terrain: Pavement, farm tracks and grassy paths. Time: 1.5 - 2 hours

Continue until a gap on the right (waymarked) enables you to descend.

114 Smuggler’s Trail, South Ayrshire

Start from the car park at Troon’s invigorating South Sands. To the right, beyond the wide sweep of bay, you can see a point which sticks out and protects the north facing harbour that gives the Ayrshire town its name: ‘Troon’ is believed to be a derivation of the Welsh ‘trwyn’, meaning nose or cape. It’s an ideal location for a harbour and timber and other goods are still ferried from here. To follow in the smugglers’ footsteps follow the road round to the right, through the Royal Golf Club, before veering left to take the path across the course and a rail bridge. A track leads on, to reach a busy road. Cross over for Crosbie Church and access to Fullarton House. Follow the trail signs to reach Loans. Continue by the main road, on a footpath, to take the first right. This leads onto a welcome quiet stretch and up to a reservoir with excellent views of the Isle of Arran. Blue markers indicate the way ahead through the wood. Watch for the occasional mountain biker tackling a steep, tricky, descent before Dundonald Castle appears. Cross a burn and go right to see the castle’s impressive exterior. Built for Robert II’s accession

to the Scottish throne in 1371, the stronghold was used as a royal residence by the early Stewart kings for the next 150 years.

Catch a bus back to Troon or retrace the seven-mile journey for a just reward.

The Tale of Ardstinchar Castle

If the ruins of Ardstinchar Castle could speak they would tell a tale of a series of events designed to wipe out one branch of Ayrshire’s most powerful family, the Kennedys. Fact or Fiction? An ancient manuscript lies in a basement in an Edinburgh library. It was written at the time of these events and, although the author remains anonymous, it is believed to be the work of John Mure of Auchindrain House near Ayr. It was the writing of S R Crocket, minister turned novelist, who brought this story to the attention of a wider public when he took it and used it as the basis of his novel The Grey Man. This is a work of fiction but woven through the tale is the factual thread of the tragic events which occurred in Ayrshire at the end of the 16th century.
