Trump International

Located on the Aberdeenshire coastline, and set amongst the great dunes of Scotland, Trump International Golf Links is home to two world-renowned golf courses. The Old Course is a layout of quite extraordinary beauty, challenge, interest and power. Opened in 2012, and designed by Dr. Martin Hawtree, who was tasked to produce a world-class links course, capable of one day hosting a major golf championship, the Old Course has already established a magnificent world-wide reputation. The New Course was officially opened for play on Tuesday (July 29th, 2025) by President Donald J. Trump, the 45th & 47th President of the United States of America. It is crafted through some of the most dramatic and awe-inspiring coastal dunes in the world, delivering a breath-taking fusion of nature, design strategy and raw beauty. The New Course is already being hailed as a modern masterpiece. The combination of New and Old courses, operating in unison with a world-class clubhouse, exceptional practice facilities and a magnificent suite of accommodation options, have led commentators to suggest that the enhanced offering at Trump International Golf Links will herald a defining moment in the evolution of global golf destinations.

Trump International Golf Links, Old Course: Ranked as the Best Modern Course of Great Britain & Ireland on numerous occasions, and having already hosted the Legends Tour Staysure PGA Seniors Championship in 2023, 2024 & 2025, and the DP World Tour Nexo Championship 2025, the Old Course at Trump International Golf Links is spectacular, and should be high on your Scottish Golf Breaks wish to play list. Situated amongst the great dunes of Scotland, it is an eighteen hole, par 72 (M & W), course and it has tees ranging from 5,215 to 7,428 yards. We have no doubt in our minds, that this course is a future Open Championship venue in waiting. Come and play it, before ambition becomes reality.

SGB Signature Hole: Number: Hole 3. Measuring 108 yards (front) and 205 yards (back) from the tee, this par 3 is sheltered by the surrounding dunes. Situated in a beautiful spot on the golf course, it offers great sensory pleasure as the player walks towards the green, slowly becoming aware of waves lapping in as the North Sea is revealed. Protected by dunes to the left and right, a bunker to the front-right and by water and a sandy shore-line, to the rear, resting just a few feet from the green, this is a picture perfect golf hole.

Trump International Golf Links, New Course: Guaranteed to challenge and mesmerise, this commanding North Sea links has been meticulously crafted to create a one-of-a-kind golf experience. Cavernous sandy hollows, expansive native wetlands, historic relics and towering windswept mountains of marram grass feature in this epic modern links. The New Course is an eighteen hole, par 72 (M & W), layout and it has tees ranging from 5,105 to 7,589 yards.

SGB Signature Hole: Number: Hole 7. A breath taking par 3 ranging from 103 yards (front) to 188 yards (back) across six tee boxes. Golfers must carry their tee shot over water to an elevated punchbowl green, guarded by four cavernous bunkers in front and dramatic dunes behind, that swallow balls like a black hole swallows light. The 33-yard-wide green is generously sized but challenging, with subtle contours demanding precision and touch. Securing a two-putt par is a worthy achievement - one to thank the golfing gods for - before moving on to the 8th tee, where more natural beauty and challenge await within the grand amphitheatre of the dunes.

Practice facilities: Driving Range: Offering one of the largest driving ranges in the country, with north and south facing tees, with over 1 hectare of grassed teeing area, the driving range at Trump International Golf Links offers a fantastic practice experience.
