Tour of Turnberry

Right is a view of the A719 scenic coastal road 15 miles south of Ayr as it passes through Turnberry. Turnberry is a small village with a few old style luxury homes. This view shows the extensive hotel complex with self-contained cottages to the right and golf complex, regarded by many as the finest in the UK to the left.

The five star Turnberry Hotel offers fishing, shooting, archery, falconry, biking, horse riding, off roading in 4by4s, hill walking and much more. View the Turnberry Hotel website at www.turnberry.co.uk.

Left is a view of the Ailsa course 454-yard par 4 ninth. This is Turnberry's most famous hole viewed from the back tee. The back tee requires a carry of about 200 yards to clear the cliffs. The lighthouse is built on the ruins of Turnberry Castle, birthplace of Scotland's most famous king (Robert the Bruce).
Right is a view of Turnberry beach looking towards the hotel. This two mile long sandy beach that runs alongside the golf course is seldom used.
