An impressive 8-hole stretch along the coast is being sculpted to enhance the already intimate relationship golfers have enjoyed with the Irish Sea, invigorating and exhilarating all at once.<\/p>\n<p>The new 9th hole, playing from the existing tees to a green across the bay at Turnberry Point, will become a par 3. The Championship tee at this hole will require a minimum 200-yard cross bay shot to the newly positioned green, with the iconic Lighthouse providing a breathtaking backdrop. At this particularly striking coastal point, a new halfway house will be created in the Lighthouse, with plans for a terrace, grill and refreshment area and toilet facilities. An option to enjoy an exceptionally luxurious experience comes with a new Presidential suite being constructed in the Lighthouse.<\/p>\n<p>Following a halfway refresh players will be faced with a newly extended 10th hole, lengthened at both tee and green to create a challenging par 5. Those who dare may take the direct line over the bay, a whopping 280-yard shot. To add a further test the famous doughnut bunker will be restored and positioned up the hole posing an even more significant threat on the way to the green.<\/p>\n<p>The coastal theme continues at the new 11th hole with a cross bay carry to the newly positioned green. The 14th will become a tough par 5 with the green providing a 180\u00c2\u00b0 view of the sea. The 17th hole will be shortened to a par 4 and the Championship 18th hole will be straightened from its previous dogleg configuration.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in exploring the all-new Turnberry experience later this year feel free to contact us and we will be happy to assist you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Bonnie Wee Golf Team<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An exciting new chapter is unfolding at the historic Turnberry Resort on the West Coast of Scotland; both the Turnberry Hotel and the Ailsa Course have been closed since 28th September 2015 to allow extensive refurbishment and remodeling of this prestigious resort.
