Where2Golf says:

The Ailsa Course at Turnberry is one that justifiably ranks alongside the world’s best. From first to last you will enjoy top-calibre links golf, accompanied by many stunning views known the world over (at least in golfing circles). The Turnberry Hotel looks down proudly on the course from its hillside perch; one of the more famous lighthouses in golf often guides your way, and in almost constant view is the ocean, with the (volcanic) pudding-bowl Ailsa Craig rock sitting just a few miles offshore. The course itself is characterised by a succession of really great links golf holes that thread their way through the impressive and constantly undulating sand-dune terrain. Always maintained in excellent condition, this is a links golf course of great stature, which has hosted some of the most memorable "duels" in competitive golf.
