History
Turnberry's Edwardian Station Hotel opened on 17 May 1906, designed by the architect James Miller and served by a dedicated railway line on the Ayrshire coast. During both World Wars the surrounding links were requisitioned as a military airbase and hospital.
The resort passed through British Transport Hotels and then Starwood before Dubai's Leisurecorp bought it in October 2008, joining it to the Luxury Collection with interiors by Mary Fox Linton. In 2014 Donald Trump acquired the property and renamed it Trump Turnberry, undertaking a roughly £200 million restoration with golf architect Martin Ebert. Its Ailsa course, home to the 1977 'Duel in the Sun' between Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus, is one of the world's most storied links.
