Turnberry Golf Course, one of the leading Scottish golf courses. Turnberry golf course is available in golfing art prints by Fraser Shaw and Mark Chadwick available from the Sports Gallery. Turnberry is one of the most beautiful links courses in the world, offering stunning views of the Isle of Arran, the Mull of Kintyre and Ailsa Craig. The British Open is held on Turnberry's Ailsa Course, a famous feature of which is the Turnberry Lighthouse. The lighthouse overlooks the 9th hole and was built over the remains of Robert the Bruce's birthplace, Turnberry Castle, which explains the hole's famous nickname, 'Bruce's Castle'. Running along the beautiful Ayrshire coastline, the ninth is one of the most memorable holes in Championship golf. |

Turnberry (9th Hole) by Peter Munro Turnberry, on the South West Ayrshire coast, is one of the most beautiful links courses in the world, offering stunning views of the Isle of Arran, the Mull of Kintyre and Ailsa Craig. Tumberry is also now a regular host to the British Open and it was the venue for one of the most memorable Opens of all time, when Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson fought the titanic Duel in the Sun on the final day in 1977 in which Watson was eventually victorious. There are two eighteen hole Championship courses, the Ailsa and the Arran. The Open is heid on Ailsa Course which is marginally longer than the Arran but still a relatively short par 70. A famous feature of the course is the Turnberry Lighthouse, which was built over the remains ofTurnberry Castle. Turnberry Castle was the birthplace of Robert the Bruce, which explains the ninth holes famous nickname Bruces Castle. The Championship tee for the ninth hole is perched on a rock pinnacle with the sea crashing far below, making it one of the most memorable, and beautiful, holes in Championship golf. |
