Located in the west of Scotland, Royal Troon is one of Scotland&#39;s 5 Open Championship venues. The first golf played on the site dates back to 1878 when a 5 hole course was designed following a meeting at a local bar. In 1923 Royal Troon hosted its first Open Championship and since then has hosted the event 8 times.

The Royal patronage was bestowed upon the course in 1978 (its Centenary year) by Queen Elizabeth II and remains the first and last course to have been offered the Royal status under her Majesty&#39;s reign.
