St
Andrews Golf Tours Proudly Present - Turnberry Ailsa
Links. Turnberry Ailsa Links can be incorporated into
your Scotland Golf Vacation.
Venue for the 2009 British Open Championship
Long regarded
as one of the finest courses in the world, the Ailsa
Links came to international prominence with the famous
duel between Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson over the four
days of the 1977 Open. It was then, in brilliant sunny
weather, that a capacity crowd was treated to an
exhilarating display of golf from two of the best
golfers the world has ever known.
Scene of some
of the most memorable moments in Open history, the Ailsa
Championship course is a legend in the world
game. Watson, Norman, Price; they've all won The Claret
Jug, golf's most coveted trophy here on the Turnberry
link. And another name will join them in the summer of
2009 when the Open Championship returns to the Ailsa.
The scenic
glories of the Ailsa Course are to be savoured - the
granite dome of Ailsa Craig, the low form of the tip of
Argyll and the peaks of Arran highlighting the changing
patterns of light and shade. Closer at hand, the
lighthouse, and the ninth's lovely back tee are other
symbols of Turnberry, the hole's title adding an
historic echo.
