Turnberry's legendary links is a challenge not for the fainthearted. The Ailsa course straddles the rocky Ayrshire coastline while weaving between the large dunes. Turnberry's has many spectacular golf holes none more so than it's signature hole the 9th. The championship tee, set out high up on a rocky peninsula, is unnerving with a 200 yard carry to the safety of the stone cairn at the start of the fairway. Turnberry has recently opened the Colin Montgomerie links golf academy and Donald Steel has redesigned the Arran course which is now the Kintyre course.     Troon became Royal Troon after its centenary in 1978. Royal Troon is well established as host of the Open Championship. Troon has many famous holes none more so than its 11th presenting a sea of gorse, heather and rough with the railway line running perilously alongside the fairway constantly reminding you of the out of bounds. Then there is of course the short 8th hole or more famously known as the postage stamp. After your round visitors are welcome in Royal Troon's delightful old clubhouse. Other great courses in the area include - Old Prestwick, Prestwick St Nicholas, Western Gailes, Glasgow Gailes, Troon Portland, Troon Barassie.       Again a wide range of accommodation is available.
