Westin Turnberry Resort Resort's Kintyre golf course in Scotland

Sitting right next to the famous Turnberry Ailsa is the resort's second championship 18 holes, the Kintyre Course. Though not as famous or historic as the Open Championship host, the Kintyre still serves up scenic, seaside links golf designed by Donald Steele.

Here, Steele redesigned the former "Arran" course, which dates back a century, in 2001. It plays neary 6,900 yards and hosts Open Championship qualifying events. One of the course's best features, "Bain's Hill" is a Steele addition, offering panoramic views of the Ailsa Craig, Mull of Kintyre and beyond.

The Westin Turnberry Resort is fresh off an extensive renovation project to prepare for the Open Championship. It has a spa, the nine-hole Arran Course and a pitch 'n putt on the front lawn of the hotel.
