Prestwick Golf Club extends a warm welcome to all golfers from around the world wishing to come and enjoy our testing traditional Links. One of the oldest golf clubs in the world, Prestwick Golf Club inaugurated the first Open Championship in 1860. The winner was Willie Park from Musselburgh with a score of 174 for 36 Holes, 2 shots clear of Tom Morris the Keeper of Prestwick’s green.

The annual cross-country match between Prestwick and Royal Troon is a cherished tradition. Members of both clubs are invited to experience two of the world's finest links in a single day, separated by a long lunch that is very much part of the occasion.

We look forward to another great match in just over a months time.

Anne Bennett was a long-serving member of the Prestwick team and, after her passing, her husband David, our Executive Chef, compiled a club recipe book to raise funds in her memory.

To this day it continues to sell well and serves as a wonderful, unique memento of a visit to our Club.

A 360 degree view of our 17th hole, originally the 2nd on our 12 hole routing, distinguished by two notable features: the formidable Sahara bunker guarding the green, and its status as the oldest hole in championship golf.

Our 17th stands as the oldest hole in championship golf, unaltered since 1851 and faithful to its form when the inaugural 1860 Open Championship was played.

Happy 175th Birthday to our wonderful Club, founded on 2nd July 1851 by 57 gentlemen in the Red Lion Inn.

They elected the 13th Earl of Eglinton as the first Captain, and importantly, James Ogilvie Fairlie, who would go on to be the brainchild of The Open, employed Tom Morris as the Keeper of the Green, Ball and Clubmaker.

Little did they know what influence our small club would have on the game over the coming 175 years.

Behind every plate here stands David and his teams meticulous attention to detail.

Food of this calibre is rarely found at golf clubs, and it requires no small effort. Every ingredient is sourced locally and everything that can be made in house is done so - even the ketchup.

The railway serves a dual purpose here:

It provides access from Glasgow directly to our doorstep, whilst also functioning as a unique hazard on the first hole, where players must hug the boundary wall for the best angle into the green.

David's commitment to sourcing exceptional local ingredients is matched only by his skill in crafting menus of consistent brilliance.

Working to tight timescales, without fail he transforms whatever the market provides into exceptional meals.
