This is a heavy-hitters-only ferry tour: Turnberry for the lighthouse views and major-championship theatre, then over to County Down for rugged dunes and moody coastal golf. In many UK top-100 rankings, Turnberry’s Ailsa Course and Royal County Down frequently trade places near the very top – so you’re essentially playing a bucket-list “1–2 punch.” Between rounds: great pubs, great seafood, and plenty of time to relive every swing on the crossing.
