TRUMP TURNBERRY

It takes something special to truly blow your guests away – and if you’re looking for opulence, heritage and pure ‘wow’ factor, you’d be hard pressed to beat Trump Turnberry.

A round on the Ailsa course is not an experience you forget in a hurry. This legendary course is a common sight at the top of ‘World’s Best’ rankings and will be elevated to even greater heights when it reopens this spring following a Martin Ebert-led refurbishment, reinventing two coastal holes to really dial the drama up.

There’s something almost theatrical about 18 holes along the rugged Ayrshire coast, where spectacular views are matched only by Ebert’s ingenious design. And Turnberry’s golf offering doesn’t stop there – the legendary King Robert the Bruce is a wonderful course in its own right, while the nine-hole Arran is not to be missed. There’s even a quaint ‘Wee Links’ pitch-and-putt that kids and adults can enjoy in equal measure.

While the Edwardian Station Hotel is one of Scotland’s most iconic, exceptional value for groups can also be found in self-catering cottages a stone’s throw from the golf. Guests can cook to their heart’s content or dine in style at any of three mouth-watering restaurants.

A haven of relaxation awaits at the Spa at Turnberry, which counts rare and innovative ishga treatments among an extensive menu; conversely. And if you want to add a little extra spice to your event, Turnberry Adventures has a seemingly endless list of non-golf activities; 4×4 off roading, archery and clay pigeon shooting are just the tip of the iceberg.
