When my editor asked me to go and play the most dramatic hole in the UK, there were a few candidates that sprung to mind. The 9th hole at Royal County Down in Northern Ireland perhaps, the Calamity Corner 16th at Royal Portrush too, maybe the 18th hole at Trump International Golf Links near Aberdeen, Scotland. But staying in the most northern country of the UK, there was one hole that stood out head and shoulders above the rest. A dramatic hole needs to stir the senses. Visually it needs to offer something completely unique and take your breath away when you see it. The sound of waves crashing against the coastline would certainly help enhance the feeling of drama and the 9th hole on the Ailsa course at Trump Turnberry, in my opinion, is the best of the bunch.
