Saturday 31 July: Play Ailsa Course
The most recent of the Open venues, it was here in 1977 that the famous Duel in the Sun occurred between Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus, who was pipped by a single stroke. This is seaside golf at its best.
Sunday 01 August: Play Prestwick
The course serves as an interesting historical example of the type of golfing terrain on which the first Open champions had to play. The challenging, long 3rd hole, known as The Cardinal, may be the most famous part of Prestwick.
Monday 2 August: Play Royal Troon
The forbidding appearance is mellowed by such delights as the 126-yard 8th hole, The Postage Stamp, which is the shortest hole in Open golf. After lunch enjoy a second round of golf on the Portland Troon Course: Also a links course, the Portland is a little more sheltered than the Old Course and the holes meander through terrain filled with gorse and broom.
After golf transfer to St.Andrews. Accommodations at the Fairmont St. Andrews Hotel (4 nights). Standing on the cliffs overlooking St. Andrews, the St. Andrews Bay is the perfect place for a golf resort, blessed with a wonderful sense of history and tradition and breathtaking views of the River Tay estuary and the spectacular Fife countryside.
Tuesday 3 August: Play Kingsbarns
Unfolding over dune ridges and hollows, the course runs through Scottish heather and wispy rough, along 1.5 miles of scenic coastline near St. Andrews. Kingsbarns truly “embraces the sea”.
Wednesday 4 August: Play Carnoustie
For the average golfer, this course offers unlimited opportunities, usually helped by the wind, to find the Barry burn, sand, rough and out of bounds on what Walter Hagen described as the best golf course in Britain.
Thursday 5 August: Play Old Course (via daily ballot):
Wide fairways and vast greens, which may seem forgiving but disguise a unique test of golf, characterize the Old Course and have given St. Andrews its formidable reputation. Farewell Drinks & Dinner this evening at the hotel.
