Troon Links - Darley
About
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.

Darley
Bit cold but course had full greens on and no mats. Happy days
Weather did not impact Darley
Course was in great condition considering half of scotland courses were closed due to frost then heavy rain fall.
Great course. Amazing considering current conditions!
Only course in the collection that remained open during a period of really poor weather. Staff done amazingly to accommodate players without impacting pace of play.
Great quality with challenging holes throughout!
Good course
This course is a challenge if you want to challenge yourself it is also a good layout
This course has a unique layout
Very unique layout as most holes are over a road. Very good condition and some very nice holes
Fantastic
Absolutely loved this golf experience from you cross the road this course grabs your, waste bunkers fantastic greens this had it all so good we went back on our way home to experience It again ...
Don’t pay full price
Seems way to over priced for the conditions of the course, litter and usage clothes(find boxers on one of the holes) all round the course and divots not replaced. A busy place so can’t get as much attention but felt massively over priced for our experience
Review of Troon Darley
In this dry spell the greens were watered and in excellent condition.
First time playing Troon Darley. We enjoyed our game but found it a challenging course. Hope to play it again in the future now that we are familiar with the layout.
20th May
Great course layout, but course was untidy with a lot of rubbish on the course and the tee boxes were littered with old tees
A shame
A shame as I was really excited to be playing Darley for the 1st time. Was a cracking day and course looked good but it took 2and half hours to play 9 holes. Ended up walking off after 13 as I couldn’t wait any longer at each tee box the pace of play was so poor. I enjoyed the layout of the course and it was a challenge so that pace of play didn’t help much. The greens also weren’t great condition which was disappointing. I think maybe a weekday or off peak time the course would be more enjoyable. I would still recommend people play it but with these things in mind.
Greens Maintenance
Course not the best condition I have played it. Greens scarified and sanded.
