Troon station consists of two side platforms with buildings designed by the architect James Miller.

[4][5] The station was refurbished in spring 2004 ready for the 2004 Open Championship at the nearby Royal Troon Golf Club.

During the week-long event, including practice days, Troon Station saw an estimated 100,000 extra passengers.

[9] The port of Troon is located approximately 0.8 miles (1.3 km) from the railway station, a walk of around fifteen minutes.

[10] Until 2016, P&O Irish Sea ran a seasonal fast ferry, HSC Express, from the port of Troon to Larne Harbour.
