Prestwick Golf Club

The prestigious Prestwick Golf Club has a history that goes back over 160 years during a time where golf was only just beginning to take off.

Back in 1851, 57 enthusiastic members who met frequently at the Red Lion Inn, took the opportunity to purchase two cottages opposite the tavern to start the formation of this historic golf venue. Under the guidance of Old Tom Morris, this course grew from strength to strength and became the pinnacle of golf in its early years.
