Loved the place!
Historic Golf Course for sure! Fortunate to have been there!
Wonderful golf club and course ⛳️🏌️♂️🫶
After a warm welcome and check-in at the Professionals’ Shop, you’ll meet your caddie and be greeted by our legendary starter, Bobby.
He’ll send you off down the iconic first hole, “Railway” one of the most testing opening shots in golf.
The Prestwick welcome awaits you.

Great course!

Get the open back there⛳️⛳️⛳️
I wasn’t there for opening day but it was the first course I played in Scotland
Visited in May, lovely club and great people.
#otd 25th June marks the centenary of the 24th & last Open Championship to be played at Prestwick in 1925. Cornish-born American Jim Barnes overturned a five-shot deficit over Macdonald Smith with a final round of 74 (and a four-round total of 300) to become the Champion golfer of the year.

I feel a painting coming on!
James Ogilvy Fairlie would be very proud!
On this day in 1821, Tom Morris was born in St Andrews. In 1851, he moved to Prestwick with his wife Agnes and their one-month-old son, Tommy, where he became the first Keeper of the Green

Excellent portrait of the “grandfather of golf”. ⛳️
Clubhouse Redevelopment 2025
Work has begun on a significant redevelopment to the upstairs area of our iconic Clubhouse to elevate it to world-class standards. While this space will be closed throughout the 2025 season, full food and beverage service will continue downstairs.
Visitors are welcome to enjoy drinks in the Smoke Room and meals in the Dining Room, both of which sit at the heart of the Club. During the renovation period, the dress code in these spaces will be relaxed, with golf attire permitted.
We look forward to unveiling the refurbished Clubhouse in time for our 175th anniversary celebrations next year.
