When Donald Trump first laid eyes on the patch of Aberdeenshire coastline he know it was the place to build what he believes will be “The World’s Greatest Golf Course”. Spanning a vast area of 500 hectares, the Trump International Golf Links development will comprise of two world class links golf courses, an top class hotel, lavish holiday homes and a residential village within the unique setting of the Menie Estate.
The central focus of this world class development is the championship golf course which has been designed by Dr. Martin Hawtree. Hawtree has previously completed work on links gems including the likes of Royal Birkdale, Lahinch and Portmarnock, which is enough to suggest that the Trump International Links will become an instant classic.
The championship course is very much in the shape of traditional Scottish links and the par 72 that measures a little over 7,400 yards is surely destined to host major tournaments in the not too distant future.
All 18 holes wind their way intriguingly through the imposing dunes and golfers will be treated to breathtaking views from various vantage points around the course. Each hole will have 5 separate tees thus catering for all classes of golfer. Like any Hawtree course The Trump International links will be an enthralling golfing experience thanks to strategically placed bunkers undulating fairways and a stunning variety of holes that will no doubt keep the golfer on their toes from start to finish.
To ensure best practice and the protection of native species the environmental group MEMAG has been established.
The hotel will be sited adjacent to the golf courses, looking out towards the sea. Guests will be able to enjoy stunning views over the sprawling sand dunes, out to the coast and beyond. As we have come to expect from the Trump brand, the hotel and holiday homes will be built to the highest possible specifications and no expense will be spared to ensure guests are provided with the ultimate in luxury and comfort while on their Scottish golf holiday.
A wide range of recreational and leisure facilities are included in the plans for the resort meaning this world class holiday destination will not just cater to golfers but to larger groups and most importantly families as well. Away from the golf course, guests will be able to enjoy their time by partaking in activities like tennis, archery and horse riding; amongst others.
