TURNBERRY, Scotland – Expect a vastly changed golf course the next time the British Open is held at Turnberry. Donald Trump and a wadful of money should ensure arguably the world’s most beautiful links looks nothing like it did when Stewart Cink beat Tom Watson in a playoff for the 2009 British Open.
Trump has employed respected British architect Martin Ebert to oversee renovation of the Ailsa Course, venue for four Opens. Ebert, of MacKenzie Ebert, is already involved in modifications of six of the ten Open Championship venues – Royal Portrush, Royal St George’s, Royal Lytham, Royal Troon, Carnoustie and now Turnberry.
