For the first time in eight years, the 2024 Open Championship has returned to Royal Troon for the 10th playing of golf’s oldest major at the famed Scottish links. At the last edition held there in 2016, Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson had a duel for the ages which resulted in Stenson setting the then-major-championship scoring record of 20-under 264. Troon sits in one of the most golf-rich areas in the world, but if you’re not a geography expert, don’t worry, we have you covered.

So, you’re watching The Open and wishing you could play Royal Troon someday yourself, right? You aren’t alone.

The club’s Old course — which is used for The Open (and the 2020 AIG Women’s Open) — ranks 66th on GOLF’s Top 100 Courses in the World ranking, and for good reason.

Billionaire Joe Ricketts has ordered crews to immediately stop construction of his long-planned Sublette County luxury resort, and restore the area to its natural condition. A project that would have made a tourist destination out of the tiny, sleepy Hoback River basin community of Bondurant has been called off because of protective wildlife stipulations that abbreviated the construction season. Ricketts sought an exemption from the seasonal restrictions, which he claimed in a memo obtained by WyoFile would have increased the cost of building the high-end all-inclusive resort by $60 million to $100 million, but his request was denied .

TROON, Scotland — Two of the most boring things in the world are making excuses and forcing other people to listen to your travel woes. Still, now that a few days have passed and I can speak from a place of calm reflection, I want to note for the record that there are several individuals and entities in the airline industry that deserve to be guillotined, and they are responsible for the 40-hour fever dream that finally deposited me in Scotland as a ravening, bewildered lunatic on the verge of either a nervous breakdown or a homicide. A nice man named Mariusz drove me from the Edinburgh airport to Ayr, and I suspect he released a cloud of anesthetic gas in the back seat as an act of mercy, because for the first time in two days I slept fully. When I woke up 90 minutes later and staggered into my AirBnB, I had just one hour before my tee time at Western Gailes—my first ever round of links golf, and my first round overseas.
