Newton-on-Ayr is also well known for its association with the St Nicholas golf course, this is where the first open golf championship was held. Also the club house in those days was a pub called the Red Lion where ladies of the night would ply their services in the upstairs rooms, the pub remains to this day although greatly modernized
