Ailsa
Course
This
is a Mackenzie Ross masterpiece, one of the finest places on
earth to play golf. The mixture of views over the Firth of Clyde
to the Isle of Arran, the ominous presence of Ailsa Craig constantly
watchful over a stretch of links land that is second to none.
The Ailsa
course has been an Open Championship venue since 1977 having
been the host to one of the most dramatic Open showdowns in
history. The “Duel in the Sun” saw Jack Nicklaus
and Tom Watson square off against each other.
There is
no finer place to be on a long, hot, lazy summer’s day
and when the golfing day is done, what better way to relax than
in the Westin Turnberry Resort, a lavish 5 star establishment
one of the top 10 best golf resorts in the world.

Kintyre
Course
The
Kintyre is a challenging test of links golf that runs along
the same peninsula as its famous brother the Ailsa Course. Although
it does not have the history of the Ailsa, it does have some
great golf holes, spectacular views and in many cases asks more
of you on driving accuracy and well worth a round. The 8th and
9th holes are two of the most impressive.
