The best golf courses in the British Isles
4. Best golf courses in Britain – Trump Turnberry
Ayrshire, Scotland
Vastly improved by Mackenzie Ebert, the Ailsa re-opened last summer and is virtually a new golf course. All the greens were re-laid and there are several brand-new holes. Most of them involve tees overlooking the beach and it’s now truly spectacular for 18 holes.
Previously there were several weak holes – now there are barely any.
