"By encouraging existing and new golfers to take part in our three main competitions, including the free junior open, we're also helping to safeguard the future of our courses and spreading the word about the quality of our offering.
"I'd encourage regular competitors to take advantage of the early bird discounts and recommend anyone who hasn't taken part before to look us up and sign-up soon."
A 20% discount is available for Ayr Golf week until Friday 19 April 2019; and for the Troon Golf Weekender and Girvan Golf Classic until Friday 31 May.
