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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

‘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.

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.

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.
HOLE 9 APPROACH HOLE 10 PAR 3 Bain's Hill 166 159 148 142 38
27
This part of the golf course is played on Bain's Hill, which lends its name to this par 3 hole. Again club selection is the key here as anything short of the green will leave a testing chip shot to this undulating green. The bunkers have to be avoided so finding the green with your tee shot is vital.

This par 5 is played from an elevated tee on Bain's Hill and offers a view of the 'Down and Round' corner of the dog-leg. This hole has spectacular views and finding the fairway from the tee will allow you to see the rest of this formidable hole. Care must be taken with your next shot as position is key here. The green is raised at the front and it is best to aim for the right half and let the natural contours feed the ball back to the centre of the putting surface.

'Don't Be Afraid' is the advice for this par 3 as only committed shots will be rewarded. There is a bunker short left, which makes the hole seem shorter than it actually is. The middle of the green is the target as there are two greenside bunkers on the right and a slope to the left that could leave a tricky pitch if caught.

A poor shot may introduce you to 'The Marshland', but you must also ensure that you miss the fairway bunkers on the right. The approach shot to this par 4 should be played to the left half of the green to avoid the greenside bunker on the right. The two- tiered green is particularly undulating and a par is always a good score on this hole.

This hole refers to Drumadoon Point, which is situated on the Isle of Arran. A tee shot down the right half of the fairway, avoiding the fairway bunkers, will leave a full view of the green for the second shot. A pot bunker awaits any over-adventurous or miss-hit second shots, so, perhaps laying up short of it may be the best option. This green is well guarded with a greenside bunker on the left and slopes off the right-hand side of the green. These slopes will force the ball towards the gorse, so it is best to play for the left half to avoid the bushes or a tricky up and down.

Scurdy was the name of the original gamekeeper who was in charge of the grounds at Turnberry. The tee shot on this par 4 should be aimed down the left half of the fairway to avoid the long stretch of gorse that lines the right-hand side of this hole. The approach shot should also favour the left-hand side of the green to avoid the bunkers short and right. With the majority of the trouble short and the green sloping from back to front, it may be wise to take an extra club.
HOLE 15 APPROACH HOLE 16 PAR 3 Paddy's Milestane 177 146 126 113 25

The Ailsa Craig was nicknamed 'Paddy's Milestane' by the Irish as it lies halfway between Belfast and Glasgow. The green on this par 3 is extremely undulating and it is protected by both the slopes and three greenside bunkers. Play for the middle of the green to have a chance of birdie, but take care as you will often have a testing two putt for par.

This hole is one of the only areas unaffected by runway construction during the World Wars and it deserved its name, which translates as 'an area of grass left untouched'. The tee shot on this testing par 4, dog-leg right, should be hit down the left side of the fairway to avoid the two bunkers on the right and the burn that runs to the edge of the fairway just beyond them. The approach shot needs to be hit to the right half of the green to miss the bunker on the left, however, too far right and a severe slope will leave an awkward up and down. Par is a great score on this tough, penultimate hole.

The 'Home' hole of King Robert the Bruce is a par 5, dog-leg left, laden with bunkers. The tee shot should be hit down the left half of the fairway, to avoid the bunkers on the right-hand side, and a good second shot is required to avoid one of the remaining bunkers. The green itself has many subtle slopes that will challenge any chip shot or long putt so take time to study your line. This strong finishing hole is a fitting end to the round.
