A new golf course by Donald Trump, located in Scotland, is set to open next summer. The new 18-hole championship links golf course at Trump Scotland in Aberdeenshire is designed to complement the existing championship links course opened in 2012. Trump International, Scotland has announced that this new course aims to be one of the most environmentally-friendly and sustainable courses ever built, forming the greatest 36 holes in golf when combined with the existing course.
The development of the new course has involved a team of architects, designers, professional golfers, and industry experts. Golflink Evolve, specializing in constructing new links courses and modifying existing renowned courses, was appointed as the principal contractor for the project. The new links course features distinct topographical areas, including the largest sand dunes in Scotland, heather-clad heathlands, and expansive wetland areas.
The course’s design and construction have been overseen by Eric Trump and Sarah Malone, Executive Vice President of Trump International Scotland. The team behind the project has been working diligently to create a unique and exceptional golfing experience. Golf legend John Daly and professional golfer Paul McGinley have praised the new course’s design and beauty.
The project has been focused on respecting the environment, with engineering solutions that enhance the natural landscape and promote sustainability. The construction process aimed to source materials from the land itself and develop an environmentally sustainable water system to support both championship courses for the future. The course has received accolades for its environmentally-friendly approach and commitment to sustainability.
Robert Maxfield, CEO of the Professional Golfers’ Association, described the new course as a gift to the game of golf and praised Trump’s commitment to building world-class facilities. The course is expected to be accessible to all golf enthusiasts, offering a spectacular golfing experience.
In addition to the new course, another Scottish golf course owned by Donald Trump, Turnberry in South Ayrshire, is set to have the highest green fees on the planet. The Ailsa Course at Turnberry will see an increase in green fees for non-residents, aiming to protect tee times for members and hotel guests.
Overall, the new Scottish golf course by Donald Trump is poised to become a premier destination for golfers seeking a unique and environmentally sustainable golfing experience. With its stunning design, commitment to sustainability, and world-class amenities, the course is set to attract golf enthusiasts from around the world.
