Driving Directions

Resort, 54 holes, $$$$$
If Turnberry's Ailsa course lacks the natural ripples and chaotic contours of other British Open rotation links, it's easy to understand why: During World War II, 18-inch-thick concrete was poured over parts of the layout for use as runways. The Ailsa was the setting for the unforgettable "Duel in the Sun" in the 1977 British Open, but conditions were less placid in the 1973 John Player Classic, when 100 mph wind gusts blew a marquee out to sea and almost tossed Australian Jack Newton off the cliffs by the ninth tee. Turnberry hosted the British Open in 1977, 1986 and 1994, and the Open returns in 2009.

Other courses at the resort include Kintyre and Arran. For more information, visit turnberry.co.uk.
