Turnberry
Location
Situated in Burns country, on the West Atlantic coastline of Scotland is Turnberry, unquestionably one of the great golf resorts of the world.
Set in 800 acres of magnificent countryside offers an unforgettable golfing experience. The Ailsa course is regarded as one of the finest links courses in the world, most of us feel we know the course already having watched the famous last day dual between Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson in the 1977 Open Championship.
Polls regularly acknowledge this course to be in the top 3 in Britain and ranks in the top 20 courses in the world. The most memorable hole on the course has to be the ninth. This remote green requires you to drive across the corner of the bay onto the distant fairway. No trip to Scotland is complete without playing this course.
The Kintyre course builds on the challenges laid down by the Arran course and offers exhilarating links golf. Its immaculate fairways and undulating greens surrounded by the shear beauty of the Kintyre, Arran and of course the famous Turnberry lighthouse. The 8th regarded as the signature hole, involves a drive towards the sea, to a green set in a gully by the sea, a truly stunning hole.
