Troon Darnley is a fantastic test for the mid handicapper who drives the ball well. Fair layout although the rough was quite flat when I played. Very good greens condition.

Good course. Hardest of the three courses here if you miss the fairway.

This is a very good golf course and exceptional value for money - if you want to play a proper links course on a budget, this is the course for you.
Of course, as it's a links course you need to be prepared for the odd outrageous bounce from the middle of the fairway into the deep stuff (or vice versa). The fairways are links-land and the greens are very true, and a reasonable pace. The bunkers are brutal - steer clear!
The course is also fairly tight with gorse, heather and deep rough just off the fairways, but a lot of the rough was fairly wispy so you could usually find your ball and hack it out. At 6000 yards off the yellow tees it's long enough without being a slog.
The highlights were some really good holes: the 5th and 13th are beasts of par 4s, and the 9th is a cracking par 3.
Overall, highly recommended.
Note that it's a municipal and it's by the seaside so you will get dogwalkers and other folk wandering across it, but everyone was very friendly.

Quite a tight testing course.Plenty of punishment should you stray offline from the tee.Tight fairways,and plenty of gorse mean straight drives are a must.Several pretty holes.The round played today was my 1st visit to this course which meant finding our way round was sometimes quite difficult due to a good few hundred yards between some tees and having to cross a busy road on a couple of occasions.However,I would play it again without a doubt

I've rated the course as poor, not because of the condition, it's well maintained, but because it's a pig of a course! If you don't bring your 'A' game you'll shoot high numbers and lose a bundle of balls. Not a place to try and get your handicap cut. Played four times this year because it's on the greenfeesavers, it's at Troon, so it's playable and in good condition most of the year, but I've never got close to playing to my handicap yet.
The clubhouse, food etc is excellent.
