Turnberry, 2025 Scotland

Turnberry, set on the dramatic Ayrshire coast of Scotland, is one of the most picturesque and prestigious golf resorts in the world. The original course opened in 1906, but the land’s history stretches back centuries—it even served as an airbase during both World Wars, with runways still faintly visible today. The iconic Ailsa Course, redesigned by Mackenzie Ross in 1951 and later refined by Martin Ebert, offers breathtaking views of Ailsa Craig and the Firth of Clyde. Turnberry has hosted four Open Championships, producing unforgettable moments like Tom Watson’s 1977 “Duel in the Sun” with Jack Nicklaus. Consistently ranked among the best in the world, the Ailsa Course currently holds the #3 spot in the “Top 100 UK & Ireland Courses” list, celebrated for its blend of natural beauty, strategic design, and historic legacy.
