The 152nd British Open gets underway on Thursday at Royal Troon Golf Club in Scotland. It's the 10th time the storied course has hosted The Open Championship since it was established in 1878.

Past champions at Troon include Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson and Tom Weiskopf, as well as Henrik Stenson – who won the Claret Jug in 2016, the last time the tournament was played there.

The par 71 course measures 7,385 yards from the championship tees. Among Troon's most notable holes are the 632-yard, par-five No. 6, the Open's longest hole, and the par-3 No. 8, better known as the "Postage Stamp."
