Trump Turnberry — Ailsa Course
Trump Turnberry — Ailsa Course
Turnberry's Ailsa Course enjoys one of the most dramatic settings in world golf — a clifftop links on the Firth of Clyde with the hulking rock of Ailsa Craig dominating the seascape and the Isle of Arran beyond. The lighthouse at the 9th tee — built on the ruins of Robert the Bruce's birthplace — is one of golf's most iconic images. The course has hosted four Open Championships, most famously Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus's 'Duel in the Sun' in 1977.
Following Trump's acquisition and an extensive multi-million-dollar renovation by Martin Hawtree, the course emerged harder and longer than ever — stretching to 7,489 yards with reshaped bunkers and restored natural dunes. It remains one of the most visually stunning rounds of golf anywhere in the world, whatever one's views on the ownership.
