The club’s other 18-hole layout, the Portland Course, circulates inland, to the east and south, and owes its present routing to a fresh 1921 design by Alister MacKenzie, another World Golf Hall of Famer. The club also has a nine-hole, par-3 layout called Craigend. Troon’s main clubhouse, aligned immediately behind the 18th hole of the Old Course on a perpendicular axis, is a classic stone Victorian structure designed in 1888 by Glasgow-based building architect Henry Edward Clifford. The club received its “royal” designation as part of its centenary celebration in 1978.
