DE VERE CAMERON HOUSE 5*

While the blank canvas that was presented to Canadian designer Doug Carrick was outstanding, the architect justified his burgeoning reputation by formulating a majestic course. Stretched along the Loch Lomond shoreline, the course is bordered by delightful banks of heather and gorse, which are typical of this classically Scottish landscape. D

espite its low-lying situation, the course drains remarkably well thanks to its state-of-the-art construction, a fact that has been reflected in the Carrick already having hosted the best European ladies for a fully sanctioned European Tour event.

The new gem of Scottish golf has been warmly welcomed by the golfing hierarchy, and is a fabulous new option for a magical Scottish golf break.
