Turnberry, Golf club in South Ayrshire, United Kingdom
The Turnberry Golf Club extends along the coast of South Ayrshire, with golf courses facing the Firth of Clyde and islands of Arran and Ailsa Craig.
Founded in 1906, the club transformed from military use during both World Wars into a premier golf destination following a 1951 redesign by Mackenzie Ross.
The Ailsa Course gained international recognition during the 1977 Open Championship with the competition between Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus for the title.
Visitors can reserve tee times for multiple courses, including the Ailsa Championship Course and the King Robert the Bruce Championship Course throughout the year.
The Royal Flying Corps utilized the grounds as an airbase during World War I, training pilots in aerial gunnery while the hotel served as a military hospital.
