Trump International Golf Links, Scotland, Golf course in Balmedie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
Trump International Golf Links, Scotland is a championship links layout in Balmedie, Aberdeenshire, running roughly 7400 yards (6800 meters) along the North Sea shore. The eighteen holes wind through high dunes and deep valleys shaped by the coastal landscape.
Planning approval came in 2008 after a national inquiry examined the proposal, and construction began in 2010. The course opened to players in 2012.
The coat of arms at the clubhouse blends symbols from Scotland with those from North America, showing how the facility bridges two golf traditions. Visitors often notice this mix in the architectural details of MacLeod House as well.
Tee times can be booked directly on the official website, which also provides details about staying at MacLeod House and Lodge. The facility is open during the golf season, though North Sea winds can affect playing conditions considerably.
Construction reshaped a dune system more than 4000 years old that held protected conservation status. Scottish Natural Heritage documented these changes throughout the building process.
