British Isles Golf Course

Hole 15 – Turnberry (Ailsa)

Another of the courses on the Open Championship rota, Turnberry's Ailsa course was the scene for Watson and Nicklaus' deul in the 1978 Open. I was going to use the 15th in it's original form but at over 200 yards in length I felt that this compilation needed a much shorter par 3 to offset the others found here. So I took some 70 yards of length off the hole and moved the tee round to the right so that the bunkers now catch the over long tee shot. I added a bunker at the bottom of the deep chasm in front of the green (originally the right) and played about with the slopes so that a soft high fade is the best tee shot to play here.
