Trump International Scotland ( Old Course )
This is picture-perfect links golf and it was designed with aspirations to be the ‘ world ’ s greatest golf course ’. Martin Hawtree , the designer , had the budget and space to do as he wished and he has created something that would make an artist blush . The views from tees are just mouthwatering with holes moving in a north-south orientation , alongside the North Sea . Holes flow in almost complete isolation between the biggest dunes on the Menie Estate . It gives them an almost ethereal quality and you are unlikely to see another group of golfers on the course , thanks to that space and routing . It feels like it ’ s just you against the dunes and the wind .
Fairways are wide and mostly smooth , but the bunkering is omnipresent and penal and once you ’ ve seen them you can ’ t unsee them ! The 18th hole has 18 bunkers so if you think you can avoid sand for the entire round , think again . And it ’ s 650 yards from the back tee ! If ever there was a reason to choose you tee wisely , this is it . Fortunately , you have six to choose from .
