Turnberry

The Ailsa course dates from 1901, laid out by James Miller and rebuilt by Mackenzie & Ebert to 7,357 yards at par 70, with Tom Watson and Nick Price sharing the record at 268. Four Opens have been played here, the last in 2009 when Stewart Cink won, and logistics and infrastructure, not the course, are the obstacle to a fifth. Recent spending includes £2.2 million on greenkeeping equipment and the purchase of a local hospitality venue; the map pin falls on the village of Turnberry itself. A note on the map pin: open map data offered a close but not exact match for this place, so the marker may sit slightly off. If it looks wrong, please flag this entry so it can be checked.
