Trump International Golf Links Scotland occupies a three-mile stretch of North Sea coastline on the Menie Estate at Balmedie, where Martin Hawtree routed 7,428 yards of golf through dramatic dunes reaching 100 feet in height.
Opening in July 2012 after seven years of development, the links has established itself amongst the greats of modern Scottish championship venues, approximately 16km (10 miles) north of Aberdeen.
Experience championship links golf routed through Europe's most spectacular coastal dunes. The 22-acre practice facility and comprehensive short game areas provide on-site facilities that rival any to be found in Scotland.
Donald Trump acquired the 570-hectare Menie Estate in 2006, initiating development of what became one of Scotland's most debated golf projects. The Site of Special Scientific Interest designation protecting 4,000-year-old sand dunes triggered seven years of planning approvals before construction commenced.
Hawtree was promoted from links consultant to lead designer, applying his extensive Open Championship course experience to routing fairways through the naturally occurring dune systems. SOL Golf Course Construction began work in the late 2000s, with superintendent John Bambury overseeing the planting of five million marram grass sprigs to stabilise the shifting sands.
