Royal Troon Golf Club is a private links golf club at Troon in South Ayrshire, Scotland, beside the Firth of Clyde. It was established in 1878 with just five holes and now has 45 holes across the Old, Portland and Craigend courses. The Old Course, remodelled by James Braid before the club staged its first Open Championship in 1923, is on the rota for The Open Championship and its short eighth hole, the Postage Stamp, is famous. The club received its Royal designation in 1978, during its centenary, and members voted in July 2016 to admit women. It has also hosted the Amateur Championship, the Senior Open and the Women's Open.
