Although Turnberry has long been recognised as one of the world’s great golfing experiences, recent course developments on both the Ailsa and King Robert The Bruce have taken them to another level.
Our competitors really are walking in the footsteps of legends, with Turnberry having staged The Open on several occasions – most memorably the famous 1977 ‘Duel in the Sun’ between Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus.
Current Champion – Graham Low (Rockliffe Hall)
Named after the King of Scotland who was born in Turnberry Castle and who went on to triumph at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, the King Robert the Bruce course is a world class sibling to the legendary Ailsa course with great views, distinctive bunkering and swathes of gorse.
With Arran and Ailsa Craig as spectacular natural backdrops, the Ailsa course is one of the most highly regarded in the world. Following some clever recent developments, this masterpiece has got even better and is without question a golf experience not to be missed.
