Access
|
Short walk |
Follow the signs for Prestwick Airport down the M77/A77 and take the Troon turn off before you hit the airport. If you pass the end of the runway then you've missed the turn off. The car park is just beside the 1st tee of Royal Troon Golf Club.
Rules |
Zones |
Stay clear of the area south of the Marine Highland Hotel, as you will now be flying under the airport flight path. This will cause lots of trouble!
