Prestwick Golf Club
Birthplace of The Open Championship.
Prestwick Golf Club is a relaxed and friendly club that enjoys hosting golfers from all around the world. Visitors are encouraged to use their temporary membership to its full capacity, and enjoy the full lunch in the lavish Dining Room or just a snack in the relaxed Cardinal Room.
The River Pow, or the Pow Burn, flows through the golf club's property, and the river is a natural obstacle, there are fish and other species of rare nature in the river, so nature watchers are welcome there.
There are several sand dunes in the centre of the course. The tallest of the three is Pow Hill, the next tallest is The Queens Jack, and the third tallest is Cearcevlock Hill. Blind shots from the tee at the short fifth and on the approach to the par-4 17th add considerably to the mystery and charm of the course. The most famous hole is the third, a par 5, dogleg right, of 500 yards, where the fairway simply ends about 300 yards from the tee, as the land descends into a vast, deep bunker, nicknamed the 'Cardinal', about 50 yards across, which is buttressed by railway ties. Many championship hopes have died in this bunker. The Pow Burn flanks the hole down its entire right side. The Irish Sea / Firth of Clyde forms the western boundary of the course, flanked by sand dunes. The Royal Troon Golf Club sits immediately to the north of Prestwick's course.

There are two dining rooms and two bars. The Members Bar and Dining Room maintain a formal dress code of jacket, collar and tie. The Cardinal Lounge and Dining Room are however casual and the dress code is smart casual. The food at Prestwick is excellent and if the opportunity arises to have a meal as well as play golf, it should not be missed.
There are no residential facilities at the Club. However, the area is well served with hotels and B&Bs. We have a list of local hotels should this be required.
NOTE: While every effort has been made to assure accuracy, we advise you to check all information with
the golf course before booking your tee-time or driving to the course.
