TRUMP TURNBERRY KING ROBERT THE BRUCE 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 was appointed once more by The Trump Organization to create the world-class golf experience our guests enjoy today. With 7,200-yards of the finest links in the world, the King Robert the Bruce will astound you with breath taking views of Turnberry’s dramatic coastline, castle ruins and exquisite Turnberry lighthouse. 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 2nd, 4th and 5th).

HOLE 1 PAR 5 Barley Rigs 618 541 518 475 70 • 98 • 124 • 1- 471 2- 399 3- 369 •157 4- 328 •187 222 • •225 1- 367 •246 2- 294 1- 334 3- 264 264 • 2- 263 4- 223 •285 3- 233 4- 192 1- 315 2- 245 3- 215 4- 174 4 3 2 1 29 37 53 • 70 • •92 98 • 124 • •157 •187 222 • •225 •246 The opening hole is a long, dog leg left, par 5 and the name refers to the adjacent barley fields planted after the Second World War. The ideal tee shot should favour the left side of the fairway to avoid the bunkers on the right. Two fairway bunkers are well placed at the second shot landing area and must be avoided. The green is surrounded by gorse and a large greenside bunker looms on the right. HOLE 1 APPROACH HOLE 2HOPALRE 5 2 530 475 P 4A50 R 3405 343 Cosie Neuk 180 163 153 141 26 34 ‘Cosie Neuk’ is well named as the 2nd green is one of the most sheltered at Turnberry. This par 3, with a large two-tiered green, requires careful club selection, as the wrong club could leave a tricky putt. HOLE 2 APPROACH HOLE 3 PAR 4 Leerie Licht 332 321 318 310 75 • 1- 257 2- 246 •102 1- 238 2- 224 •124 1- 201 141 • 2- 191 •168 184 • •190 210 • 2 1 38 27 54 • •59 75 • •80 97 • •102 The ‘Distant Light’ refers to the Turnberry Lighthouse, which is directly in your line of sight from the tee. This short par 4 should not be underestimated. The fairway is lined with gorse bushes and there are bunkers either side of the landing area. The approach shot should favour the left side of the green to avoid the pot bunkers guarding the right. HOLE 3 APPROACH HOLE 4 PAR 4 Sandy Loo 407 393 381 365 1- 306 2- 292 3- 266 1- 251 •76 2- 237 3- 209 98 • 112 • 133 • 1- 258 2- 245 •137 150 • 3- 218 168 • •178 207 • 1- 239 2- 224 3- 197 3 2 1 28 31 54 • 73 • 54 • •76 98 • •118 This is one of the most heavily bunkered holes on King Robert the Bruce and aptly named ‘Sandy Love’. Par is a good score on the difficult dog-leg left hole. The tee shot should be hit between the bunker on the left of the fairway and the two bunkers on the right. The green is longer than it appears and is guarded by a large bunker short of the green. An extra club may be required in order to carry this troublesome bunker. HOLE 4 APPROACH HOLE 5 PAR 4 Friar’s Carse 461 449 407 361 74 • •94 117 • 139 • 1- 226 1- 230 2- 178 •159 2- 181 3- 134 3- 127 •181 •202 205 • 226 • •245 •266 1- 205 270 • 2- 156 1- 219 3- 111 2- 171 3- 120 3 2 1 20 39 53 • 72 • 74 • •94 •96 •116 117 • This demanding par 4 runs parallel to an expansive natural wetland area. An accurate tee shot is required with trouble waiting on either side of the fairway. The approach shot should favour the left-hand side of the green to avoid catching the two greenside bunkers on the right. The contours on the left side of the green will also assist by moving the ball back towards the centre of the putting surface. HOLE 5 APPROACH HOLE 6 PAR 3 Holy Isle 188 178 168 157 25 39 ‘Holy Isle’ is a small island just off the coast of Arran. This tricky par 3 plays directly towards Holy Isle, which can be seen from the highest point on the course – Bain’s Hill. This raised undulating green is hard to hit and par is always a good score. HOLE 6 APPROACH HOLE 7 PAR 4 Roon the Ben’ 406 383 363 343 1- 258 2- 235 •72 3- 198 94 • •112 135 • •155 175 • •195 •216 •237 1- 239 2- 216 3- 180 3 2 1 25 34 53 • •72 94 • •112 135 • ‘Round the Mountain’ is a gentle dog-leg left and is similar in shape to the 7th hole on the Ailsa Course which shares this name. A tee shot down the left-hand side of the fairway will leave the best possible view of the green. The approach shot should also favour the left half of the green to avoid the large bunkers on the right. The contours on the left will filter the ball back to the middle of the green. HOLE 7 APPROACH HOLE 8 PAR 5 Windy Brae 534 485 468 423 •78 1- 423 110 • 2- 381 •142 3- 335 152 • 1- 265 2- 215 •186 3- 156 •208 218 • 240 • •251 •271 281 • 1- 256 302 • 2- 207 3- 148 3 2 1 26 32 •56 •78 89 • •99 110 • •120 132 • •142 152 • •164 This is one of the most exposed parts of the golf course and rightly named ‘Windy Hill’, this hole plays into the prevailing south-westerly wind. The tee shot should be hit down the right side of the fairway in order to miss the fairway bunker on the left. From there you should get a great view of this par 5 green but care must be taken to consider all the options when deciding your strategy with the next shot. Enjoy the incredible view when you reach this green but also take time to study your line on this tricky putting surface. HOLE 8 APPROACH HOLE 9 PAR 4 Kintyre’s Cove 451 406 389 356 74 • •57 •78 110 • •105 •123 •139 1- 272 158 • 2- 229 3- 185 •177 •197 216 • 219 • 1- 265 2- 222 258 • 3- 178 •280 3 2 1 30 39 74 • •57 •78 89 • •105 •123 •139 158 • The green on this par 4 is set in an incredible location, perched high above Kintyre’s Cove. Being in position off the tee will determine whether you can go for the carry across the cove to this green. The fairway continues to the right for those that are looking for a safer route. Supreme accuracy is the key here for any approach shot, as the green itself is heavily guarded, but once safely on the putting surface you will enjoy spectacular views across to the Mull of Kintyre.
