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

Last month, we brought our 12-hole routing back to life to celebrate our dodransbicentennial.
The course was not enjoyed by any Morrises or Parks this time, but by the local community, of which we are so proud to have been a part for the last 175 years.
The course that hosted the first dozen Open Championships was brought back to life last month for Prestwick locals to see the course that Young and Old Tom won their eight Claret Jugs on.

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