The Arran Course
With characteristic undulating greens, tight tee shots, pot bunkers and thick, Scottish rough, the 9-hole par-31 Arran course-named for the largest island in the Firth of Clyde-is a fitting introduction to the challenge of links golf. With the same difficult elements as Ailsa and Kintyre, Arran was designed to acquaint golfers with the typical challenges of links golf. Turnberry's PGA professionals at the Turnberry Performance Academy, a world class teaching facility, offer golfers of all levels a range of specialised programmes including links golf technique.
Against the backdrop of the timeless Turnberry Lighthouse, novices and advanced players alike can practice a full range of links techniques and shots on Arran's mix of par 3s and 4s.
