With the famous hotel on your left, the magnificent Ailsa Craig away to your right and a whole new set of challenges ahead, there are few feelings in world golf to match those experienced at the first tee of the legendary Ailsa or highly acclaimed Kintyre course. The Ailsa hosted Turnberry's first Open Championship in 1977. That championship saw Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson go head-to-head to produce one of the greatest and most talked about final rounds in the history of golf - 'The Duel in the Sun'. The course is ranked by Golf World as the 4th best in the UK and Ireland.
