Where The Open Began – Historic Prestwick Golf Club
|
Step back in time at Prestwick Golf Club, the birthplace of The Open Championship. Enjoy a historic and challenging links course filled with tradition and character.Situated on a stretch of golfing terrain unrivalled in the world, Prestwick is less than a couple of hours travel from all the other Open Championship courses in Scotland and is a must play for any discerning lover of the game.
A simple stone cairn to the west of Prestwick’s clubhouse marks the spot where the first Open Championship tee shot was struck in 1860. It identifies the opening hole of the original 12-hole course and the place where modern golfing history began. |
