Ailsa Golf Course, Trump Turnberry, a Luxury Collection Resort

The Ailsa Turnberry Golf Course hosted the resort's first Open Championship in 1977. The competition saw an international duel between Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson as they went head-to-head to produce one of the greatest final days in Open history. Around this course, guests will find stunning natural beauty with exceptional coastal views – but do not let its beauty fool you, as it is home to some of the most difficult holes in golf, notably the long par-3 ninth. This Turnberry golf course has long been considered as one of the best in the world so it's no wonder that it was chosen to re-host the Open Championship in 2009.
