In terms of amenities and things to do, besides plenty of golfing opportunities, Prestwick has the usual array of chains and independent shops, cafes, pubs and eateries, as well as other independents you would expect to see in towns in Scotland. This in turn generated much of the attraction and development of the town. The club has hosted the Open Championships no less than 24 times with the last being in 1925. Following the creation of the club and course the very first Open Championships were held at the club in 1860, as were the next 11. Golf cannot be discussed without specifically mentioning Prestwick Golf Club, formed in 1851, and designed by ‘Old’ Tom Morris who came from St.

The golf courses that were established in and around the town cemented Prestwick as a popular resort. However, where the industrial revolution was responsible for the growth and development of many towns across Scotland it was golf that set Prestwick on the path to what we know today. The ease of transport the train provided certainly helped in the development of the town. This attracted a growing number of middle classes from Glasgow for trips and many also started to build large Victorian houses along the coast. The town is a former Royal Burgh and remained primarily a village until the railway arrived in the 1840s. The town is the smallest in Scotland with an international airport – Prestwick Airport – which serves many European destinations as well as transatlantic and other international cargo flights. It directly adjoins the larger town of Ayr to the south, and the small village of Monkton to the north. It lies on the west coast of Ayrshire about 30 miles southwest of Glasgow. Prestwick is a town in South Ayrshire of about 15,000 residents.
