Among the changes are a new East-facing balcony and a larger retail shop.
A new restaurant has also been built called "The Duel in the Sun", which, of course, pays tribute to one of the most famous encounters in Open history between Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson in 1977.
A replica of the claret jug is another new addition to the clubhouse, sitting alongside other memorabilia from the Open's world-famous history.
While more lockers have been added, new meeting rooms, including the Tom Watson boardroom and the Champions Suite, are also part of the changes to Turnberry.
