Welcome to Ayrshire - Birthplace of the Open Championship, Land of Robert Burns, The Vikings, Scotland's premier horse-racing venue, and a brilliant array of fine Scottish links golf courses. From Royal Troon and Turnberry (the two Ayrshire courses on the Open Championship rota) to the veneralbe Prestwick (where the very first Open was played in 1860), to the many other excellent Scottish golf courses, Ayrshire is an area rich in golf tradition.

How rich is Ayrshire in golf courses? There are 32 golf courses within a 20 minutes drive from the town of Ayr, the largest town in Ayrshire. And because the Gulf Stream lies off the coast here and keeps the greens frost-free, golf can be played all year. Ayrshire is historic and picturesque. If you're a Robert Burns fan, this is the place to be. And for the golfer...well, Ayrshire's links-fringed coast is a feast.
