Royal Troon

Royal Troon Golf Club

Around 60 miles south of Loch Lomond Waterfront, this is a great day trip for golfers during a stay with us. The journey takes less than 1.5 hours by car. Royal Troon is a challenging test of links golf. Home to both the longest and shortest holes in Open Championship golf at 123 and 601 yards respectively. Set on the south side of Glasgow near Prestwick Airport, the courses at Royal Troon are ideal for those looking for a bit of variety. Non-members are welcome at selected times and days, but please check the requirements and book in advance before making a trip.

The courses and facilities

The club formed in 1878 with just 5 holes, but this has grown and developed and it now has two 18-hole links courses, the Old Course and the Portland Course. Royal Troon is a stunning golf club, which has hosted the Open on several occasions, and many other important competitions. There is a pro shop and an excellent clubhouse with catering available. There is also equipment hire, caddies subject to availability and car parking facilities.

The Old Course is the championship course at Royal Troon. When the club hosted its first Open Championship in 1923, this course was redesigned and expanded by renowned golf course architect, James Braid. It is now one of the top links courses in Scotland, remaining very close to Braid’s century-old design.

The Portland Course dates from 1895 and is shorter in length than the Old Course. It is slightly further inland and more sheltered. Although not as famous as the Old Course, it is still regarded as a high-standard course with a good variety of holes.

Testimonials

  • The Lodges are amazing

    'I would like to say that we all had an amazing time staying your lodges at the weekend.  The Lodges are amazing.  Beautifully presented and everything you need within.  Stunning location.  Muy birthday/retirement celebrations were made all the more special at this wonderful location with my friends around me.'

  • A magical getaway

    'It is not at all a surprise that you are fully booked.  If there is one place in the world we would like to be this summer, that place is Loch Lomond Waterfront Lodges, and I’m sure the only people who don’t share this passion are those, who simply have never been there. What a magical getaway and a retreat you have created! Thank you for that.'

  • Outstanding location

    'The location is outstanding - right on the edge of Loch Lomond with private water frontage and beaches. As a location for exploring, again this rates very highly. We easily accessed central Glasgow by train from nearby Balloch and also explored Stirling (particularly the castle and Wallace memorial), the Falkirk Wheel and even Perth and Pitlochry by car. It is a very peaceful place, which can only be disturbed on occasion by your neighbours but with the Slumber Charter in place, we had absolutely no problems overnight.'

  • Our own private beach

    'Just walking along the West Highland way path past some of the crowded beaches made us realise the value of having your own private waterfront onto the loch.  I can still picture walking down to the lochside on our first evening and watching an osprey dive for a fish!'

  • Right up there with the best

    'We have travelled the world and stayed in all sorts of accommodation - Loch Lomond Waterfront is right up there with the best. The facilities, quality of fixtures and fittings and the setting all add up to a superb holiday experience and one that I have no hesitation in recommending to anyone. Outstanding!'
