“To achieve this level of recognition for our majestic modern links, which lies in the home of golf and is up against many of the greatest golf courses anywhere in the world, is testament to the amazing team at Trump and the most spectacular dunes in the world.

“2023 marks an exciting new chapter for Trump International, Scotland.

“We broke ground on another world-class championship links among the Great Dunes of Scotland and hosted the Legends Tour, PGA Seniors Championship – the world’s oldest seniors’ tournament, this year.”

The five-star golf resort in the Northeast of Scotland opened its course in 2012 to international acclaim.

After winning the award for a fourth consecutive year, Malone said: “We are also thrilled to collect the award for World’s Best Halfway House on behalf of Trump Turnberry.

“There are few more recognisable 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.”
