What a project to be part of. Considering there is already a world class golf course on the property there is always a worry on how to complement this course with the new one. I believe the whole development team has done an incredible job and I cannot wait to showcase this course to the world next year. #DreamTeam @trumpgolf Sarah Malone Esie O mahony @martin hawtree @Christine Fraser @Steve wilson @jamie oreilly
A new era in links golf is coming to Scotland, and we’re thrilled to offer you a first look on what will be The Greatest 36 Holes in Golf!🏴 Further complementing our existing championship links, the new course at Trump International, Scotland is designed and constructed to the highest specifications and standards. Weaving together three distinct topographical areas to form one-of-a-kind modern links, this course features the largest sand dunes in Scotland, heather-clad heathlands, and expansive wetland areas. Bringing the vision to life is a world-class team of distinguished architects, engineers, environmental scientists, and industry specialists commissioned to ensure the course works seamlessly within the landscape. We are extremely proud of our team which has worked together collectively on this site for the past 15 years, carrying an exceptional wealth of experience and understanding of the special characteristics of the land.
