We visited Prestwick while in Scotland for the Commonwealth Games in 2014. Unfortunately the weather wasn't too kind on the particular afternoon we were on the prom, so we didn't get to play the fine looking seafront Putting course.

Golf Putting Green in Prestwick

Visiting Prestwick and the new Miniature Golf Putting Green at Prestwick Beach.

The Putting Green at Prestwick Beach

Having visited Troon earlier in the morning we headed one stop down the train line to Prestwick to visit the new Putting Green at Prestwick Beach.

Outside the Putting Green at Prestwick Beach

Unfortunately, most likely due to the weather, it was also closed when we arrived.

The Prestwick Beach Putting Green costs £2 a round for adults

A shame as it looked like a good spot for a game of Minigolf. The putting surface looked to be on a bit of a slope and with the exposure to the elements would make for an interesting round.

The course became the 574th visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 232nd visited but not played.
