The Westin Turnberry Resort in South Ayshire is home to the famous, century-old hotel overlooking the famous Ailsa course, a regular host to the British Open. The Ailsa is most famous for its lighthouse by the 9th tee and the volcanic, Ailsa Craig rock that looms offshore.

The course was originally built at the same time as the hotel at the turn of the 20th century, but was plowed over during World War II and used as an airbase. Mackenzie Ross came in later and created a links course that has today become one of Scotland's most coveted. Turnberry is also home to the championship Kintyre Course and 9-hole Arran.

The Turnberry Hotel offers two golf courses right on the coast and with a well-known lighthouse as part of the view All levels of golfer can take on the hotel's two golf courses.

The Kintyre Golf Course at the Turnberry Hotel builds upon the many tests that were designed into the well-known old Arran course, and offers exhilarating links golf, with greens that undulate, fairways that provide a pretty trip to them, and beautiful holes.

Take in the view atop Bain's Hill, for example, after a quick climb from the seventh green, and marvel at how the added elevation extend the vista in every direction, then take your shot - the golfers behind you are waiting. Savor that eighth hole, though: it's the golf course's signature, with its drive from the elevated tee almost to the sea and a memorable second shot blind to a green in a gully near the rocks. Follow this with a thrill-packed coastal second shot on the ninth hole.

The Arran Golf Course at the Turnberry Hotel provides plenty of tests, just like its siblings, the Ailsa and new Kintyre golf courses: greens that undulate, tee shots that play tight, pot bunkers and that thick Scottish rough.

The holes on the Arran Golf Course at the Turnberry Hotel mix it up with par-3 and -4s, appropriate for golfers of all levels, from rookies to pros, as everyone can use a workout on the links game, and that lighthouse provides a nifty backdrop.

If you've still got some golf in you after a round of golf on the Arran Golf Course at the Turnberry Hotel, try your hand at the other golf course in the 36-hole complex.
