About the Course

;)  ;) ;) ;)  |
Course Established: 1901
Course Designed by: Mackenzie Ross
Best Score: 63 Greg Norman (1986) and Mark Hayes (1977)
Long regarded as one of the finest golf courses in the world, The Ailsa came to international prominence with the famous duel between Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson over the four days of the 1977 Open. It was then, in brilliant sunny weather, that a capacity crowd was treated to an exhilarating display of golf from two of the best golfers the world has ever known.
Scene of some of the most memorable moments in Open history, the Ailsa championship course is a legend in the world game. Watson, Norman, Price, Cink they've all won golf's most coveted trophy here on the Turnberry links. And to that list, we add Stewart Cink, after his thrilling triumph in a play-off against the evergreen Tom Watson at the 138th Open championship.
The scenic glories of the Ailsa Course are to be savoured - the granite dome of Ailsa Craig, the low form of the tip of Argyll and the peaks of Arran highlighting the changing patterns of light and shade. Closer at hand, the lighthouse, and the ninth's lovely back tee are other symbols of Turnberry, the hole's title adding an historic echo.
The Ailsa has always been one of the world's great golfing challenges. Now, thanks to a series of exhilarating changes, including six new tees and 250 new hard yards, it has become even more dramatic.
Links golf at Turnberry isn't an experience reserved for the leading pros. It's a thrill available to all who love the great game. You are now able to recreate the Open magic yourself on the Ailsa with a myriad of special offers.
The Kintyre Course (the old Arran Course) has been totally redesigned by the esteemed golf architect Donald Steel. This exciting new links course features fantastic scenary guaranteeing magnificent ocean holes which offer undulating greens, tight tee shots and pot bunkers. Indeed, it is a serious rival to the Ailsa, with some claiming that it is even more challenging than its famous counterpart.
