Prestwick Golf Club
If you’re looking for one of the game’s traditional venues, you would do well to gaze at this Stonehouse image and consider Prestwick. Located just 30 minutes west of Glasgow, close to the famous Royal Troon and Turnberry, Prestwick holds the honor of being the first course to host the British Open Championship in 1860, and is regarded as a summation of traditional links golf, with all the goodies thrown in – narrow fairways, deep bunkers, small, rippling greens, ball-eating heather and gorse, and the precocious sea winds that can turn any round from glad to sad in seconds. Fortunately, Prestwick also offers a cure: “a brimful schooner of Kummel” on the 19th hole.
