TRUMP TURNBERRY AILSA YARDAGE GUIDE TRUMP TURNBERRY Dear Friends, It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Trump Turnberry! Trump Turnberry boasts an incredibly rich history, not only in the game of golf, but in the history of Scotland itself. The iconic Turnberry Lighthouse sits atop the ruins of the 13th century castle of King Robert the Bruce, who was born on this sacred piece of land in July of 1274 and later confirmed Scotland’s independence in the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. Built in 1873 by pioneering Scottish lighthouse designer Thomas Stevenson, father of author Robert Louis Stevenson (made famous for his works “Treasure Island,” “Kidnapped” and “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”), the lighthouse was constructed to allow seafaring vessels the ability to safely navigate the treacherous coastline. Moreover, Turnberry was transformed to serve the Royal Air Force (RAF), while the illustrious Turnberry hotel was commissioned as a Royal Naval Hospital during both World Wars. In 2016, world-renowned architect, Martin Ebert, skillfully redesigned the legendary Ailsa course into the extraordinary 18-hole masterpiece you see today. Set along the rugged coastline, overlooking the outer “Firth of Clyde,” the spectacular setting creates a golfing experience unlike any other! I look forward to sharing this magnificent property with you --- you will not find a more majestic, historic or beautiful golfing destination anywhere in the world. Enjoy your round! Sincerely, Eric Trump LOCAL RULES 1. OUT OF BOUNDS - A ball is out of bounds if it lies: a. Beyond any fence bounding the course (as at the 1st, 3rd and 18th holes). b.

This opening hole must not be underestimated, clubbing and accuracy are key to avoiding the strategically placed greenside bunkers. HOLE 1 APPROACH HOLE 2HOPALRE 5 2 530 475 P4A50 R 44 05 343 Mak Siccar 425 375 360 330 65 • 77 • 1-334 99 • 2-284 •108 3-242 1-328 •130 142 • 2-278 •151 3-235 164 • 1-286 •173 2-236 3-188 1-289 2-239 •193 3-196 •214 3 2 1 37 65 • 77 • 99 • •108 The hole is named “Make Sure” for a reason. Poor shots will be punished with trouble lurking in almost every direction. Strategically placed fairway bunkers and a steep slope to the left of the fairway and green are just a few of the problems facing players. The green is deceptively long and will require careful club selection to avoid leaving a long, difficult putt. HOLE 2 APPROACH HOLE 3 PAR 4/5 Blaw Wearie 496 390 382 374 1-315 2-279 •64 3-210 4-174 94 • •106 •127 137 • 1-308 158 • 2-272 •170 3-203 • 4-167 191 199 • •212 220 • 1-275 •234 2-238 3-169 •255 4-134 1-268 2-231 3-162 4-127 4 3 2 1 33 •64 94 • •106 The translation of “Blaw Wearie” is literally “Out of Breath” and this may well be the case as the prevailing wind blows into the face of the golfer. This long par 4 will require two good shots to find the green in regulation and a par is always a good score. HOLE 3 APPROACH HOLE 4 PAR 3 Woe-Be-Tide 194 189 179 143 HOLE 4 PAR 3 143 – 194 yards “Woe-Be-Tide” is a light-hearted warning to be aware of the Firth of Clyde and other possible hazards on the left of the hole. This is the first hole of an incredible eight hole coastal sequence and such a stunning stretch of seaside holes must be unmatched in the golfing world. As you take a moment to truly appreciate the splendour of this fabulous hole please ensure that you take enough club to carry all the trouble that lies short of this putting surface. HOLE 5 PAR 5 Fin Me Oot 531 501 483 413 A C •72 87 • B •115 •136 1-329 •158 2-299 170 • 3-236 4-211 1-322 •197 2-292 •215 3-228 231 • 4-204 •234 1-342 •252 2-311 269 • 3-251 1-278 •272 4-224 2-248 3-184 4-161 4 3 FROM THIS DISTANCE DISTANCE DISTANCE SPRINKLER TO POINT A TO POINT B TO POINT C 215 127 135 142 231 139 150 158 252 167 173 181 2 1 38 •72 87 • •115 The 5th green is set in a cove at the bottom of the dunes. “Fin Me Oot”, meaning “find me out”, is appropriately named to encourage players to seek out the putting surface. Players should look to hit their tee shot down the right side of the fairway to leave the best possible view of the green. The next shot must be accurate as an array of devilishly hard bunkers is waiting for any errant shot. HOLE 5 APPROACH HOLE 6 PAR 3 Tappie Toorie 171 138 128 103 HOLE 6 PAR 3 103 – 171 yards The walk from the 5th green up to the 6th tees is one of the finest and most breath taking in golf and from here you get the most incredible view of Turnberry Beach and beyond. “Tappie Toorie” calls for players to “Hit to the Top”since the green sits at the summit of a particularly steep slope. The name emphasises the importance of reaching the green as the bunkers short of the green will test the skills of the finest golfers.

It requires a tee shot between the bunker on the left of the fairway and the two smaller bunkers on the right. The longer players may be able to cut off a fraction of the dog-leg and take a braver line over the ridge on the left. The approach shot is uphill and the green slopes from back to front. Bunkers to the right of the green and a valley of deep rough on the left, will require a well executed shot to find the putting surface. HOLE 7 APPROACH HOLE 8 PAR 4/5 Goat Fell 476 429 365 388 1-348 2-324 3-302 4-300 5-294 6-262 7-237 •63 98 • •127 •148 1-321 161 • 2-297 3-274 •190 4-273 •212 5-268 225 • 6-235 1-276 7-210 2-253 3-230 •255 4-229 5-224 6-192 7-165 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 45 •63 98 • •127 “Goat Fell” takes it name from the tallest peak on the Isle of Arran, which is visible directly across the Firth of Clyde.
