Where Is The 2024 Open Championship
The 2024 Open Championship will be held at Royal Troon golf course in Scotland.
Royal Troon's Old Course was founded in 1878 and further developed and re-designed 10 years later by five-time champion golfer James Braid to expand the course to 18 holes.
Royal Troon hosted its first Open in 1923 and next year it will host its 10th Open in 2024 for the 152nd Open Championship.
The course is designed in the traditional out-and-back manner of the Old Court at St Andrews.
The course begins with a gentle opening through some of the most breathtaking links land to be found at any of the open venues.
The course concludes with a difficult back nine finish, one of the toughest in the world.
The most recent Championship held here at Troon, took place in 2016. Henrik Stenson claimed victory after a tight battle for first against Phil Mickelson.
Royal Troon Layout
The course is often split into three sections by golf fans.
The first six holes are located along the coast, which allows you to create an early score with the prevailing winds on your back for support.
The next section, holes seven to twelve asks a lot more from the professionals as they are challenged with trying to make their way through the dunes.
The last six holes are usually the most challenging, players must play into the wind, really testing their accuracy and drive when hitting their shots.
The Royal Troon golf course layout is natural and subtle in how challenging it is.
The layout where the 2024 Open Championship will be held demands accurate shot-making from the players and the ability to control the flight of the ball as there is usually a strong breeze.
The way in which the bunkers are laid out makes them perfect for tee shots and approaches.
Best Viewing Points For Spectators
1st Tee Grandstand
If you sit on the very left-hand side of the stand, you can see tee shots and the landing areas. You can also get a cheeky view of the 18th green as well.
One downside to this viewpoint is, if the wind is heavy, most players will opt for using their Iron clubs so there will be very little drama.
18th Grandstand
The last hole of the course, the 18th grandstand is a great spot to view the championship from. Sitting with your back being the see, you are well sheltered from the cold sea breeze.
It is the stand located closest to the clubhouse and you also get a great vantage point of the putting green.
We would recommend grabbing a seat early in the day on Sunday, as spots will fill up quickly as many spectators will want to witness their favorite players, finishing their last hole of the tournament here.
17th Tee Grandstand
The 17th Grandstand is one of the very few views located on this course which offers a full view of an entire hole.
This stand provides spectator with plenty of drama. Fans who chose to sit here, can see approach shots and putts on the very close hole 16. They can also witness drives from the 18th tee and approaches and putts on the far 2nd hole.
Spectator Village
If you want to be able to witness every putt, shot and hole at the same time, Spectator Village is the place for you.
It is the perfect place to sit down with food and drinks, whilst enjoying the action on a big screen with live commentary.
8th Green Grandstand
With views of the entire 8th hole and 7th holes, this is one of the best places to find yourself midway during the tournament.
If you arrive early and get a seat on the top of the stand, you will also have a view of the entire 9th hole as well.
Practice Ground
If you are a huge golf fan, one place you can't skip when you arrive at the Open Championship is the practice ground.
The driving range and putting green on the practice ground are superb areas for spectators to view their heroes up close.
The practice ground area also has a screen with a shot tracer giving fans great insight into what is happening on the driving range.
You will also find an autograph zone here, where fans can hope to get the signature of their favourite players.
