Welcome to the ‘would be greatest course’ in the world, the Trump International Golf Links. Donald Trump asked Martin Hawtree to create a links just north of Aberdeen worthy of Scotland and in a short time since opening in 2012 the course is already getting high praise.

The breathtaking dunes that tower up to 100 feet above the course were stabilized by hand-planting five million sprigs of marram grass.

The stunning links threads its way through some of the highest dunes in Scotland and often offers magnificent views of the Scottish coastline. Each of the 18 holes provides a worthy challenge and if the wind picks up will definitely test your game as you enjoy the rich surrounding wildlife habitat. Future plans for the 2,000 acre resort include a hotel and an additional 18-hole course.

A caddie is a must here as there is a lot of nooks and crannies so it’s helpful to have someone familiar with the yardages.
