Trump golf course to be UK's most expensive at £1,000 a round!

 

A Scottish golf course owned by former US president Donald Trump is set to become the most expensive in the UK by charging up to £1,000 for a round.

 

Trump Turnberry plans to introduce the green fee at specific peak times from next June.

It will apply to golfers not staying at the South Ayrshire resort's five-star hotel and spa who want to tee-off before 13:00.

The resort says the move is aimed at protecting tee times for its members and hotel guests.

Trump Turnberry general manager Nic Oldham told golf magazine Bunkered, external: "Staying in the hotel and playing the Ailsa will come in some way under £1,000, so it’s better value to do it that way.

"That’s better for the golfer, because they’re getting a full five-star experience, but it’s also better for Turnberry.

“We are unique amongst venues that have hosted The Open in that we are a complete resort and, therefore, we need to make sure all parts of our business are viable. Simply selling rounds of golf isn’t a sustainable business model.”

Turnberry is widely rated as one of the top five golf courses in the world.

It has hosted The Open Championship four times, including in 1977 when Tom Watson beat Jack Nicklaus in what famously became known as the "Duel In The Sun".

But it has not been included on the Open schedule since Donald Trump bought the resort in 2014.

Prior to its reopening in 2016, golfers could play the world-famous Ailsa course for around £150.

From 1 June to mid-July next year, that fee for non-hotel residents will rise to £1,000 before 13:00 and about £550 at other times.

 

According to Golf Monthly magazine, the other most expensive green fees at UK golf courses include:

 

Kingsbarns, Fife - £374

 

Muirfield, East Lothian - £325

 

Royal Troon, North Ayrshire - £315

 

Royal Lytham and St Anne's, Lancashire - £305

 

Sunningdale, Berkshire - £300

 

Royal Birkdale, Merseyside £300

 

Royal County Down - £300

 

Some golf fans have taken to social media to accuse Trump Turnberry of pricing ordinary golfers out of the game.
