Open Championship venues

Golf’s oldest Major is associated with so many iconic moments and attracts millions of viewers across the globe as the UK’s crisp links are put on show.

Whilst eyes are drawn to the likes of The Old Course at St Andrews, many golf courses have contributed to the rich history, like breathtaing Prince’s in Kent and Prestwick where The Open began in 1860.

"The passion of the Northern Irish people and their hunger for this tournament to return after 68 years has all of the ingredients for one of the greatest ever Opens." Nick Dougherty on the 148th Open at Royal Portrush.
