Up to 130,000 people are planning to travel to and from the venue during the event.
And officers are advising passing motorists to avoid the surrounding roads, by taking the alternative signposted routes.
Superintendent Niven Rennie, Head of Road Policing, said: "We're advising that motorists heading to the Championship follow the specific 'Open' signs that have been provided by the AA."
Parking provision has been made for 13,000 vehicles per day and a dedicated team of police officers have been working on the traffic management system devised with The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews (organisers of the Open Championship), South Ayrshire Council, Amey Highways and a host of other partners to ensure the smooth and safe running of the area's many notorious roads.
Mr Rennie added: "On both the practice and competition days, traffic reports will be broadcast on local and national radio and full details of the frequencies for the radio stations will be indicated on the designated routes.
"Drivers who fail to follow the directions or who use alternative routes to those signposted are likely to encounter delays."
Traffic Scotland is recommending that if you are attending The Open Championship, you plan your journey in advance and The R&A also advising that people attending the event use public transport if possible for travel to and from the venue.
First ScotRail are to put on an enhanced rail service and a bus terminal is to be set up at Hamilton Park in Girvan with Stagecoach buses going straight into the public transport terminal located close to the tented village at the event.
People travelling by car however will be directed to one of the public car parks located just off both the A77 and the A719.
The event is expected to pull in 40,000 golf lovers on each of the four Championship days with the week drawing to a finale at about 6.30pm on Sunday, July 19.
An elderly Maidens resident had contacted the Gazette at the weekend to express concerns that the village would become a virtual 'no go' area for the duration of the Open, unable to park anywhere except their own drives - for those lucky enough to have them.
However, traffic consultant John Barr told the newspaper: "On June 4 I met with Sergeant Sandy Douglas and Constable John Denholm of Strathclyde Traffic Police, also at the meeting Mr Stewart Hamilton of South Ayrshire Council the persons in charge of the traffic order for the Open.
"The main point is that all main roads will be open and available to all traffic. Parking will be available in all side streets ."
But Mr Barr said there would not be any parking on the main road through Maidens from Culzean ,Ardlochan Road and Harbour Road.
Parking will be off-road in driveways and car parks on thoese streets.
He added: "The officers are attending our meeting our meeting in Kirkoswald Hall at 7.30pm on Tuesday 30th to inform us of the details,and how enforcement will be carried out."
North Carrick Tory Councillor Ann Galbraith said: "I understand the residents' concerns and I sympathise with them.
"But the police are going to have a nightmare of a time dealing with traffic and I can understand why they are banning parking in the village and surrounding area.
"It is almost lockdown at the golf course - all the paths have been closed off for the duration of the Open - but that is the price we have to pay for having such a prestigious event in South Carrick."
