Our other iconic Scottish golf resort, Trump Turnberry, was also honored at the World Golf Awards ceremony. For the fourth year in a row, Trump Turnberry's historic lighthouse took home the prize for World’s Best Halfway House.

The Trump International Scotland team was pleased to collect the award on behalf of Trump Turnberry, stating, “We are also thrilled to collect the award for World’s Best Halfway House… There are few more recognizable and historical landmarks in golf than the Turnberry Lighthouse, and winning this award further highlights its standing at the heart of one of the world’s truly great golf courses.”

Ralph Porciani, General Manager at Trump Turnberry, said:

Preserving and respecting our history is vital in everything we do here at Trump Turnberry, and we always want to find new ways to create experiences for our guests that pay homage to our heritage.  That’s why the decision was taken to create the halfway house in 2016, allowing golfers to enjoy this one-of-a-kind Scottish landmark, and we are delighted to see it named the world’s best for the fourth year in a row.

Likewise, Trump Turnberry has also been ranked once again among Golf Magazine's “Top 100 Courses in the World,” ranking as No. 18 on the list of prestigious courses.
