Each hole of this Pete Dye course has its challenge. The greens can be difficult to score. Play for position on next shot is a must. Nice practice facility and staff is friendly and helpful. Must play twice to adjust and get a good feel from back tees.

Layout (numerous hills and sand traps) is not for the beginning or average golfer. Accurate tee shot and iron play a must to score. Greens fast at times. Slow play may ruin your swing rhythm. Troon staff manage the course very well.

All bunkers are 90% dirt and are frequently roto-tilled---thus renovation with lots of sand is required. Forward tees are too short at 4841 yards and the next tee box is too long at 5587 for women.

Excellent and challenging. Typical Pete Dye course!
