TURNBERRY GC
PAR 56
Hole 1
Par 4, 443 Yards
Set between two heather covered dunes, the fairway at the First rises from the creek. The preferred shot is a draw off the tee, moving with the shape of the hole. An uphill approach shot to the green awaits. The opening hole provides golfers with a sense of the challenge that is about to reveal itself. |
|
Hole 2
Par 3, 160 Yards
The Second at Turnberry is notable for its double green, connecting to the putting surface of the Eight Hole. Hitting down towards this uniquely long & raised bowl green, bounded on two sides by the creek, is a test to start off the Par 3s. |
|
Hole 3
Par 3, 201 Yards
The Third demands golfers to hit a long tee shot to a green which is guarded by a large, front right bunker. The distinct separation between tee and green is a signature Carrick & Tyers design. |
|
Hole 4
Par 3, 120 Yards
The Fourth at Turnberry is based on the famous "Postage Stamp", the Eighth Hole at Royal Troon on the western coast of Scotland. The name of the hole was coined by famed golfer Willie Park who said that the hole had "a pitching surface skimmed down to the size of a postage stamp." |
|
Hole 5
Par 3, 152 Yards
Initially conceived to play in the opposite direction, the Fifth Hole plays over a pond. It can be played from two distinct tee boxes which dramatically alters the angle of approach. A forced carry over the pond is required, with two bunkers on either side of the green helping to define the putting surface from the tee. |
|
Hole 6
Par 3, 148 Yards
A bunkerless hole, this Par 3 is protected by large undulations within the green. "The green reminded me of a potato chip" designer Cam Tyers recalls. The 5,000 square foot putting surface is one of the smaller greens at Turnberry and the raised green creates deep chipping hollows, a feature that recurs throughout the golf course. |
|
Hole 7
Par 3, 102 Yards
This short, uphill shot will prove a challenge to most players, as determining the depth is key to scoring on this hole. The green breaks from middle to back, and falls off sharply at the front. |
|
Hole 8
Par 3, 165 Yards
The Eighth Hole plays down to, and across a small burn to the double green shared with the Second Hole. The green is sloped hard left to right, towards the burn. |
|
Hole 9
Par 3, 174 Yards
At 8,000 square feet, the Ninth has one of the largest putting surfaces on the course. You will need every bit of it when the wind is up, as it is a long carry across the pond to a green with a front level that dips down, moving up to different back sections. |
|
Hole 10
Par 3, 146 Yards
The Tenth Hole gives the golfer a chance to breathe. No water and plenty of short grass surrounding the green allows for creative recovery shots. Take advantage here because Turnberry's teeth come out next. |
|
Hole 11
Par 3, 211 Yards
The Eleventh demands an exceptionally difficult tee shot over a knoll and bunker, to a green that plays away from the direction of the tee shot and down towards the left. Golfers are expected to feed the shot from the right, allowing the ball to release towards the pin. |
|
Hole 12
Par 3, 164 Yards
The Twelfth Hole has one of the greatest elevation changes on the golf course, falling to the green more than 30 feet below the tee. A creek runs along the width of the green's front. Designer Cam Tyers says players will get the sense that the ball is hanging in the air. |
|
Hole 13
Par 3, 165 Yards
A Biarritz green is one that features a deep gully bisecting its middle. Turnberry's famed Biarritz green has a gully that runs from side-to-side and slides to the left. Precision is required off the tee or a challenging two-putt awaits. |
|
Hole 14
Par 3, 187 Yards
This Hole plays along an escarpment towards the north end of the property. It is one of the longest greens on the course at 30 yards deep, with a central bunker guarding the front section of the putting surface. |
|
Hole 15
Par 3, 151 Yards
The Fifteenth at Turnberry will tease golfers with a long narrow green set next to an expanse of water. The angle of the green, especially with pins along the left side of the putting surface, make this a particularly challenging hole. |
|
Hole 16
Par 3, 156 Yards
This beautiful hole is taken from the heroic school of golf design, featuring an all or nothing tee shot over the pond. The green does not have bunkers to protect it though, allowing golfers the chance for recovery if they clear the pond but fail to find the putting surface. |
|
Hole 17
Par 3, 171 Yards
The Seventeenth plays longer than its listed yardage, especially given an uphill tee shot that plays to the north end of the property. The putting surface is pinched by bunkers front-right, back-right and left. |
