Gallery: Turnberry Ailsa Course

The 2009 British Open is the next major on the schedule, and it takes place July 16-19 on the Ailsa Course at Turnberry.

The Turnberry Resort is on the Ayshire coastline of Scotland, hard against the Firth of Clyde. The Ailsa Course is buffeted by winds off the Firth, and dotted by scenery such as the Ailsa Craig, a granite dome 11 miles out to sea; the ruins of the castle of Robert the Bruce; the Turnberry lighthouse; and a monument to war dead overlooking a hole that was used as an RAF runway during World War II.
