Turnberry October 2026

Two championship courses, a runway from two world wars, thunder and lightning on day one, gusts of over 55mph on day two, and the world-famous sausage rolls at the halfway house — Golf Pairs at Trump Turnberry was a true test of links golf.

Course Highlights

Trump Turnberry is home to two impressive championship courses, the King Robert the Bruce and the Ailsa, which are intersected by a decommissioned runway once used as an RAF airbase during both world wars.

The King Robert the Bruce Course is an 18-hole championship layout and a tough test of Scottish golf. Stunning views and tight fairways make it a true test of a golfer's strategic game.

The Ailsa Course is an Open Championship venue measuring 7,489 yards from the back tees. It offers one of the most iconic views in Scottish golf — if not world golf — at the 9th, looking over the Turnberry lighthouse, which houses the halfway house and its world-famous sausage rolls.

Weather Conditions

Players were tested hard by the conditions. The first round, on the King Robert the Bruce, was briefly interrupted by thunder and lightning — and the second round proved even more challenging, with gusts of wind over 55mph!

Tournament History

Turnberry has hosted The Open Championship on the Ailsa on four occasions. Most recently, in 2009, Stewart Cink won in a playoff against golfing legend Tom Watson — who had himself won the Open at Turnberry in the famous "Duel in the Sun" against Jack Nicklaus.
