Rating 71.7

The first Troon Municipal Darley Golf Course dates from about 1910, though the current one, with its original bogey par of 71 opened June 9, 1951.

Troon Links - Darley plays shorter than Lochgreen, meaning a tight round of golf with heather and gorse clogging the edges of several fairways, and an easy enough start makes the tests between the fifth and 15th holes all the more frustrating.

Shoot straight on Troon Links - Darley, as, in addition to the heather and gorse, there's plenty of whin.

Troon Darley

Ive been coming to Troon for golf for many years. The layout has changed and the course is going through some improvements which should enhance the enjoyment.
The greens were great for the time of year and the Darley was still a good test of golf in the prevailing wind. A four ball in front let us through and we got round in 3 hours which was great.
The cafe service and club staff are excellent. I will definately come back.

Great conditions

Course is in excellent condition particularly the greens. On-course work now completed therefore back to it’s challenging best. Course was quiet so plenty of opportunities to enjoy the round and savour the lowly overhead conditions. As usual, the clubhouse facilities for sore-golf are excellent with very friendly and professional staff; perhaps worth mentioning that food orders need to be in before 3pm as kitchen closes after 3.
We play a number of time each summer over the years and this will continue

Tired course.

The greens were the highlight of the round, they are in very good condition. Sadly the same cannot be said for the rest of the course. At least half of the fairways were suffering from severe neglect, at least three of the tee-offs used mats that were so hard it was impossible to put a tee into them. The rough could do with some management, looks more like a building site than a golf course in places.

Still a challenging test of golf.

Despite 3 holes being shortened due to new tees construction, this is still a challenge. Remains a course for good scoring for golfers who don’t hit far but find fairways routinely. Greens in great condition. I always enjoy playing Darley. Guys at booking office are extremely helpful and a credit to Troon Links. Clubhouse amenities and staff are also excellent.

Good track

It’s a good set up but just undergoing some work at the moment, was decent value at £35. Would be keen to play it once it’s fully back up and running

Fairly wide fairways

The greens and fairways were in good condition. The fairways are quite wide allowing for the odd stray shot. Good scoring course
