Turnberry was redesigned and, in the process, one of the greatest golf resorts was established. On the scenic coast of Ayrshire in the west of Scotland, Turnberry is one of the most beautiful spectacular and challenging golf courses in the world. The Turnberry lighthouse is a famous landmark by the 9th hole, while out at sea lies the beautiful Isle of Arran with the Mull of Kintyre beyond. The first course at Turnberry was designed in 1899 by Open Champion Willie Fernie who laid out thirteen holes for the private use of the Marquis of Ailsa. A separate 13 hole course was laid out in 1905 and when the great Turnberry Hotel was built in 1907, the railway company took over all golf facilities. The Ailsa Course has twice hosted The Open.
