The Ailsa course at Trump Turnberry is not just a golf course; it's a legend in the world of golf. Renowned for its rich history, including hosting four Open Championships, The Ailsa stands as a beacon of golfing excellence on Scotland's rugged west coast. The course, named after the iconic Ailsa Craig visible from its fairways, has been meticulously redesigned to enhance its natural coastal beauty and the strategic challenge it presents to golfers.
Golfers stepping onto The Ailsa are immediately struck by its majestic setting, with panoramic views of the sea, islands, and landscapes that define the Scottish coast. The course's design takes full advantage of its dramatic location, featuring undulating fairways, challenging bunkers, and greens that require thoughtful navigation. Each hole offers a unique challenge, with the lighthouse and the ruins of Turnberry Castle serving as stunning backdrops to some of the most memorable shots in golf.
The signature lighthouse hole is a testament to the course's blend of beauty and challenge, demanding precision and strategy. The Ailsa's finishing holes are among the most exhilarating in golf, providing a fitting climax to a round that spans the spectrum of golfing emotions.

Read moreWhat a perfect vacation with 5 beautiful days of golf. Nicola was great. She ensured we were in the Old Course balloting-system and that we were also checked in for the Old Course singles daily lottery. I was fortunate to secure two opportunities to play the Old Course. Nicola went out her way many times, including traveling back to pick me up from another course to ensure I made my Old Course check in time. She also meet up with me on the 18th tee to follow me in while taking pictures of a very memorable experience. ProScotGolf provides exceptional customer service and value. I will be planning my next trip soon.

Absolutely the best! Everyone at ProScot (John, Nicola, Patricia) were exceptionally professional, friendly, and helpful.
The tour they put together for us was incredible. Our accommodations in St Andrews we’re top notch. The golf courses were fabulous. Drivers were always on time!
They made sure we had everything we needed from snacks to drinks and were willing to be flexible in terms of schedule
They setup dinner reservations at amazing restaurants, and were able to provide advice on just about anything in the area.
ProScot organized and carried out a wonderful trip to St Andrews for my group. They provided everything we asked for and more. We stayed at The Saint, a small but very comfortable place with lovely food and a warm local Scottish atmosphere. All arrangements for golf were set up as we asked. Two of our group played the Old Course through the on site queue.
I am particularly grateful for the kind attention from Nicola Scott who facilitated our days. She was diligent in working with our friends looking to get onto the Old Course…she even made an extra round trip to Lundin Links at the last minute so one could make a last minute opportunity to play.
I highly recommend them for a quality golf trip to Scotland.
