The hotly anticipated new championship links, set to open this summer at Trump International Golf Links, Scotland in Aberdeenshire, has golfers from around the globe poised to play.
Spanning hundreds of acres of beautiful, rugged coastal terrain, the new course boasts panoramic North Sea views and awe-inspiring golf holes.
Constructed to the highest specifications and standards, the new 18-hole layout weaves together three distinct topographical areas – expansive wetlands, heather-clad heathland and sand dunes on an epic scale.
With devilish sandy-scrapes and meandering ancient burns to jaw-dropping sand domes with elevated tees atop windswept golden dunes, golfers will be enticed over pristine playing surfaces on a journey that rises and falls within this majestic coastal dunescape that is laden with breathtaking moments.
Featuring the world’s largest natural bunker, cavernous sandy hollows, mountainous sand peaks and infinity greens perched along the coastal dunes, the New Course, as it will be known, promises to take golfers to new heights of challenge and exhilaration.
Building on the triumphant success of the existing multi-award-winning 18-hole links which entered the world of golf some thirteen years ago to international applause, this latest addition to the Trump portfolio is testament to the family’s unwavering commitment to investing in the great game of golf.
Behind the scenes, a world-class group of distinguished architects, engineers, environmentalists and industry specialists have been commissioned to bring the project to life.
Many key members of the design and development team worked on the first course and brought a wealth of industry knowledge and know-how to this latest phase of development. Esteemed links golf architect, Dr Martin Hawtree has maintained a role as master architect, working alongside a team of specialists including Swedish golf architect, Christian Lundin and Canadian golf architect, Christine Fraser.
At the heart of the design and construction methodology is the protection and enhancement of the land’s natural features. The outstanding ecological and geomorphological attributes of the site have been preserved and play an integral part in the overall design success.
An innovative environmentally friendly freshwater and drainage system has been engineered to provide long-term sustainable irrigation for all 36 holes, utilizing the wetlands, ponds and water collected from across the site.
More than one million sprigs of native marram grass have been planted, and six tons of marram seeds were cultivated across the new course. Over ten hectares of natural vegetation has been successfully translocated allowing indigenous plant habitats to thrive and expand, with many new wildlife habitats emerging within the new wetlands and dune-slack areas.
Both courses have become exemplars for the successful translocation of indigenous grasses, native vegetation and habitat, resulting in two world-class links courses that blend effortlessly into the landscape.
Designed to complement the existing golf course to form what is being hailed, The Greatest 36 Holes in Golf, this visionary golf resort brings together extremely rare components – incredible land, great vision, endless talent and unlimited resources.
