Destinations designed for the true golfer
You will stay at the charming Piersland House Hotel in Troon, the former family home of the Johnnie Walker whisky dynasty. The hotel combines classic Scottish character with comfortable rooms, a warm atmosphere and an excellent restaurant, creating an ideal base within walking distance of the coastline and close to some of Ayrshire’s finest links courses.
During the trip, you will play four distinctive courses. Kilmarnock (Barassie) Golf Club is a traditional links where narrow fairways and strategic bunkering place a premium on accuracy and intelligent course management. Prestwick St Nicholas Golf Club offers a compact and naturally shaped links experience beside its famous neighbour Prestwick, with the coastal wind always influencing play. At The Irvine Golf Club — also known as Bogside — you will discover a hidden gem featuring a beautiful routing through the dunes and subtle, demanding greens.
Piersland House Hotel, once owned by the family behind Johnnie Walker, has a stylish and authentic atmosphere. That heritage is still reflected in the hotel’s classic character and relaxed elegance.
The location is ideal for golfers: within ten minutes, you can be at the first tee of several outstanding links courses. The hotel also offers practical golf storage and drying facilities, ensuring your equipment is always ready for the next round. Breakfast is served early, providing a hearty Scottish start to the day.
After golf, the comfortable lounge is the perfect place to unwind over a drink and reflect on the day’s play. Several traditional local pubs are also within walking distance, offering the authentic atmosphere of Troon and the chance to share stories with fellow golfers.

Ayrshire is one of the true birthplaces of golf, where the history of the game stretches back to the first Open Championship in 1860 at Prestwick Golf Club. Along this coastline, the foundations of championship golf were shaped in a landscape where dunes, sea and wind define the character of every hole.
The coastline along the Firth of Clyde provides sweeping views towards the Isle of Arran and creates authentic links conditions throughout the region. Firm-running fairways, deep pot bunkers and constantly shifting winds demand thoughtful shot-making and creativity. Here, golf is played low along the ground when necessary and high through the wind when conditions allow — exactly as generations of golfers have done before.
The region is home to some of the world’s most iconic championship courses. Royal Troon Golf Club with its famous “Postage Stamp” hole, the historic Prestwick Golf Club, the wonderfully natural Western Gailes Golf Club and the modern championship layout of Dundonald Links together show how Ayrshire embraces both golfing tradition and contemporary championship design.
After a day on the links, local pubs such as The Red Lion Inn remain the perfect place to unwind, where stories of legendary rounds still echo through the bar and the spirit of Old Tom Morris never feels far away.
In Ayrshire, golf does not feel like a sport alone — it feels like living history, where every round connects you to the origins of the game.
