Hard to believe that in 20 months the 2009 British Open will be held at Turnberry, but a 'for sale' sign has been hoisted over the Scottish golf resort. According to Dominic Walsh in the London Times, Starwood Hotel & Resorts, which runs the 219-room resort under its luxury Westin brand, confirmed that Turnberry has been put up for sale, saying it had appointed Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels to handle the process. The price tag for the 800-acre resort that includes two courses and one of the most photographed hotels in the world is $146 million dollars. For Starwood it would be a nice return on their investment which was at that time about $51 million dollars.
