Prestwick Golf Club

Prestwick Golf Club, located in Prestwick, Scotland, was established by designer Old Tom Morris in 1851. It hosted the first British Open in 1860 and is notable for its original links-style features, including blind shots, shared fairways, driveable par fours, deep bunkers, and challenging green contours.

The course presents a variety of unique holes such as the 17th 'Alps' hole—a par 4 with a blind approach shot over a dune to a green fronted by a large bunker. The 5th 'Himalayas' hole, a blind par 3, and the 1st 'Railway' hole, a par 4 with proximity to a railway, are representative of the course's distinctiveness and historical significance.
