Venue for the first 12 Opens and 24 in total, Prestwick is a historic and fascinating layout offering a unique and subtle challenge. It's an incomparable course with perplexing holes like the par-3 5th, ‘Himalayas', demanding a tee shot straight over a towering sand hill, and the 15th, ‘Narrows', where the hole's name tells you all you need to know.
Panellists' comments: "Distinct feeling of walking where legends plied their trade"; "Exacting and beguiling in equal measure"
