2024 Open Championship Venue
The venerable Royal Troon course, situated on Scotland's west coast, is hosting its 10th Open Championship. Established in 1878, the Old Course at Troon was initially a nine-hole layout, expanded to 18 holes a decade later. The legendary James Braid, a five-time Open champion, redesigned the course before it first hosted the Open in 1923. Characterised as a traditional 'out and back' links course, Troon's opening holes typically benefit from a downwind advantage, offering numerous birdie opportunities. However, the return journey to the clubhouse presents a more formidable challenge, testing even the most skilled golfers.
