The House In The Middle Of Royal Troon | Golf Digest

Well researched video. The original route to get to Blackrock cottages was along an extension of South Beach straight past where the clubhouse now stands. The edge of the route is the reason for a prominent slope on the practice putting green. Also, until the 1960's there was a small fishermans cottage close to Blackrock house, that was used to hang nets. It's removal was not received well with some members, and it must have been an interesting hazard for the 3rd tee shot. The stone flooring can still be seen, if you know where to look.

I like the House a lot, I wish it was mine, or at least 1/2 of it. If it was on Augusta property it would have been removed years back, I like that it is part of Royal Troon, and stayed as the tract grew to 18 holes.

The postage stamp hole doesn't look like a stamp, as the video states. It's simply a very small target to hit, and the subject of a colorful metaphor. I hope most of us don't need to be told who Greer Garson was, either.

Thank you for the fascinating piece of golf course history

Wow, this is really interesting and a beautiful location to live with views across to the Isle of Arran.

I fitted the log burner in these houses was amazing to look out the window 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I want to live there.

I’d be paranoid about getting smacked by a golf ball every time I went in the garden

Cool video

Extremely interesting.

One half of Blackrock House has come on the market on Monday, so it is for sale for someone with lots of money.

There is a house in the middle of the Fredericton Golf Course in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. Cool

Scotland clearly has some unique courses

I believe it's Greer Garson, not Carson who was its most famous resident.

Greer Garson

It’s not a duplex, it’s 2 separate houses joined together

Colin Montgomerie was brought up here (South beach road)

Greer Garson was my great aunt (we called her aunt Eileen as that was her first name) I was very young at the time but our family was lucky enough to see Arnold Palmer win the Open there in 1962. Fun fact, there is actually a secret entrance to a crawlspace behind the bookcase on the west wall and down there is a very old photo album with a picture of me writing this comment because I made the whole thing up. Enjoy the Open everyone!

My girlfriend in college lived there. I stayed there for a week in 1977

Garson, not Carson.
