King Robert the Bruce
Turnberry's Second Championship Links
Reimagined and reopened in 2017, the King Robert the Bruce course shares the same magnificent Ayrshire coastline as the Ailsa — dramatic dunes, sea views and a genuine championship test.

About This Course
Redesigned by Martin Ebert and reopened in 2017, the King Robert the Bruce Course occupies the same spectacular stretch of Ayrshire coast as its more famous sibling. Rolling dune-framed fairways, elevated tees and views across to Ailsa Craig make it a superb championship links in its own right — and the perfect opening round of the Spring Pairs.
The Ailsa Course
Four-Time Open Championship Host
One of the world's great links and host of four Open Championships, including the 1977 Duel in the Sun. The lighthouse holes around the turn are among the most photographed in golf.

Four-Time Open Championship Host
Highlights
- Host of four Open Championships
- Scene of the 1977 Duel in the Sun
- The iconic lighthouse and Ailsa Craig views
- Consistently ranked among the world's finest links
About This Course
The Ailsa at Turnberry has hosted four Open Championships and staged the most famous of them all — the 1977 Duel in the Sun between Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus. The stretch around the turn, past the lighthouse and along the rocks with Ailsa Craig rising from the sea, is among the most spectacular in world golf. A fitting finale to the Spring Pairs.

What Past Attendees Say
Absolutely first class from start to finish. The courses were incredible, the hotel was spot on, and the format made it competitive but fun. Already booked for next year.
Played some courses I'd never have gotten on myself. The whole trip was organised perfectly — we just turned up and played. Can't recommend HIO enough.
Great value for what you get. Three top courses, two nights in a cracking hotel, and a chance to win a trip to TPC Sawgrass. What's not to like?
