Location: Turnberry, Ayrshire, Scotland | Ranking: #89
Designer: Martin Ebert (2017) | Type: Links | Green Fees: From £175 (resort guests)
Editor’s Note: Martin Ebert’s 2017 creation at Turnberry is built over land that was previously the King’s Course — reimagined from the ground up to provide a genuine complement to the Ailsa. Named for Robert the Bruce, Scotland’s warrior king, the layout uses the inland terrain and views of Ailsa Craig and Arran to create a different but equally compelling Turnberry experience. Available to all resort guests without handicap requirement.
