I hope not to offend the members, but of all the courses on the rotation, I think Troon is the least exciting.  Never have I played a course that feels so much that you're continuously playing the same hole.   I find it challenging but uninspiring.  The trailer park doesn't help.

I used to think TOC was a lousy venue until I was there a week before the 2005 Open.  The grandstands were all up and the people in town were really excited.  Walking around the empty course, you realize how unique and special it is to hold an event as large as the Open on such a classic, famous piece of land.  Not many sports or events can make such a claim.

I've not been to St Andrew's yet, but it would be doing well to match the atmosphere, sense of history and aura of Lord's Cricket Ground in London.

Scott, We can all play St Andrews. Very few are able to play at Lord's.

A very good point, but touring the Long Room and dressing rooms  - with their spike-market timber floors and historic honour boards - put chills down my spine.
