Trump Aberdeen
This is picture-perfect links golf and it was
designed to be the ‘world’s greatest golf
course’. Martin Hawtree, the designer, had the
budget and space to do whatever he wanted and he has created
something remarkable. Holes move in a north-south orientation,
flowing in almost complete isolation between the biggest dunes
on the Menie Estate. It gives the holes an almost ethereal quality.
Fairways are wide but the bunkering is omnipresent and penal.
The 18th hole has 18 bunkers so if you think you can avoid the
sand for the entire round, think again. The course opened in 2012,
and, given its proprietor, no expense has been spared. There are
six tees… so choose wisely.
