| Description: |
Lochgreen is the longer course, a Par 74 running parallel at points to Royal Troon and used for several years as a qualifier for the Open. Jack Nicklaus shot an 82 here in an Open Qualifier followed by a more appropriate 68 making the cut buy one shot.
Although Lochgreen is predominately a links type course, the layout is truly varied, with one stretch - known as the 'Dovecot Section' - providing holes of a more parkland type character. The course has several holes that are reminiscent of its royal neighbour and one hole in particular - the fifth - would do justice to any championship test. At well over 400 yards the hole runs parallel to the same railway that borders the championship course, with bunkers and gorse providing additional hazards. The par three that follows offers no respite and the golfer who misses the gorse-surrounded green would do well to play a provisional ball.
Lochgreen has been used as an Open Qualifier and is a course of links quality with many holes reminiscent of its close neighbour Royal Troon. You don't get away with anything less than confident driving and commanding second shots."
Troon Lochgreen is a par 74 course at 6, 819-yards. It's an upland links golf course that will test you all the way.
Opening with a 473-yard par four it will either get your round up and running or put you right on the back foot. Either way, it's a memorable start.
The dogleg 16th hole sweeps to the right with punishing gorse and pines to negotiate and a fore green which is well guarded by a stand of strategically placed bunkers.
