How Ayrshire packages work
Few coasts in golf are as concentrated as Ayrshire. Within a short drive you have Trump Turnberry, Royal Troon and Prestwick, three Open Championship links, plus a deep supporting cast of Western Gailes, Dundonald, Barassie and more. That density makes almost every trip here a stay and play package, basing in one place and rotating the courses.
Below is how the main package shapes break down for 2026, where the value and the marquee offers sit, and how to combine the headline links. Some prices and dates below are tied to specific 2026 promotions, so treat them as a guide and confirm directly before booking.

The deals worth watching
The Turnberry luxury package
At the premium end, Trump Turnberry has promoted an Open Links of Ayrshire package built around a multi night stay with rounds on the championship Ailsa and the King Robert the Bruce courses, plus play at nearby Open venues such as Prestwick and Royal Troon, with dinners and full Scottish breakfasts included. It has been offered for stays between 1 May and 30 September 2026. The resort has also run a three nights for the price of two offer, promoted through 31 May 2026.
The value links rota
For a more value led trip, hotels such as the Gailes Hotel and Spa run stay and play rotas across the everyday links of the coast, including Western Gailes, Dundonald Links, Gailes Links, Barassie Links and the Irvine Golf Club, all within easy reach of Royal Troon, Turnberry and Prestwick. This is the smart way to play a lot of quality Ayrshire golf without paying marquee rates on every round.
How to combine the Open venues
The headline draw is the chance to play several Open Championship links in one trip. The natural approach is to anchor a few rounds on the value links to carry the week, then spend on the marquee rounds at Turnberry, Royal Troon and Prestwick as the highlights. Booking the championship courses well ahead is essential, as their tee sheets fill early in the summer season.
Our take
Ayrshire rewards a mixed strategy. Use a value links rota from a single base to play plenty of excellent golf, then spend the saving on the Open venues that make the trip, rather than paying top rates every day. The Turnberry packages are the luxury option, while a Gailes style base keeps a buddies trip affordable.
Our advice is to fix the marquee tee times first, since they sell out, then build the supporting rounds and lodging around them, and confirm any promotional rates directly. Our Ayrshire golf hub and the best courses in Ayrshire list lay out the coast, and our team can assemble the package and hold the Open venue rounds, costed to the head, before you commit.

Ayrshire golf deals, your questions
What golf packages are available in Ayrshire for 2026?
Ayrshire packages range from luxury stays at Trump Turnberry, including the Open Links of Ayrshire package with rounds at Open venues, to value led stay and play rotas from hotels such as the Gailes Hotel and Spa across Western Gailes, Dundonald, Barassie and Irvine. Turnberry has also promoted a three nights for the price of two offer through 31 May 2026. Terms change with availability, so confirm directly before booking.
Which Open Championship courses can I play in Ayrshire?
The Ayrshire coast holds three Open Championship venues within a short drive of each other: Trump Turnberry, Royal Troon and Prestwick, the birthplace of the Open. Most trips combine these marquee rounds with the strong everyday links of the coast. Book the championship courses well ahead, as their summer tee sheets fill early.
When is the best time for an Ayrshire golf trip?
The main season runs from spring to early autumn, and several 2026 packages, including the Turnberry Open Links offer, are tied to stays between May and September. Links golf is best in the longer, drier months, but those dates also bring the highest demand, so book marquee tee times early and confirm package terms directly.
