Golf Courses at Trump International Golf Links

Old Course

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.

Trump International Golf Links is ranked as one of the best courses in Scotland

This course is a monster from the back tees, I suggest you approach it as humble as you can, select the right tees for your ability and enjoy a great game of golf taking in those breathtaking views! Using a range finder really helped my game as the course is filled with imposing dunes & hazards to avoid, knowing the distance between you and any potential danger means you can easily forget about certain hazards on the course to make your round less daunting.

After 18 holes on the links I would recommend heading to the Dunes Restaurant (19th hole) where the ‘Birdie Bites’ go great with a Tom Morris Lager on the side. A great combo!
