The hotel is conveniently located for over 30 fine golf courses including Old Prestwick which initiated the first ever Open in 1860 and Royal Troon and Turnberry - both of which still host golf's premier Championship every few years. Indeed the Championship was at Royal Troon in July 2004 and will be held in Turnberry in July 2009.
