Golf Courses 

Peterhead Golf Club
Peterhead Golf Club was founded in 1841, making it one of the oldest golf clubs in the world. Their present day Old course was originally created as a 9-hole affair, designed by two times Open Champion, Willie Park Junior in 1892. It was extended to 18 holes sixteen years later by Archie Simpson, then a New course was added fifteen years after that in 1923.

Laid out among the sand hills that lie to the north of where the River Ugie meets the North Sea, the Old course at Craigewan is a natural links with contours that owe little to the hand of man and everything to the assistance of Mother Nature – old-fashioned layouts like this are discovered and never manufactured, of course.

Trump International Links
All of Trump International Scotland 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. Trump Scotland is ranked in the worlds Top 100 Golf Courses and ranked in the Top 25 in the UK and Ireland. 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.

Cruden Bay Links
Designed by Old Tom Morris, the course opened in 1899, and is now recognised as one of Scotland’s premier links courses. The course very much reflects the character of the land that it graces, and was last year ranked as the 52nd best course in the world by Golf Magazine.

By modern standards Cruden Bay is not long, but the rugged landscape, combined with the prevailing wind, which tends to howl across the links, make it a genuine test for even the best golfer. This real attraction of Cruden Bay is its character; there are few golf courses that compare.

Unlike many of Scotland’s links that follow the classic loop of nine holes out, and nine back home, Cruden Bay carves its way through great undulations and towering dunes. With many blind shots and quirky angles, being creative here is of the utmost importance.

Trump International Links New Macleod Course
We are delighted to offer 24 x players the opportunity to experience the ‘NEW’ Macleod Golf Course at Trump International Links.

Spanning hundreds of acres of rugged coastal terrain, the brand new- 18-hole links course at Trump Scotland in Aberdeenshire promises an exceptional golfing experience with dramatic view of the North Sea.

Featuring the world’s largest natural bunker, mountainous sand dunes, and infinity greens hugging the coastal dune ridge, this course is meticulously designed to complement the acclaimed existing championship links course, which has received worldwide acclaim and is ranked among the “Top 100 Courses in the World” by Golf Digest. We are thrilled to invite some of our members to enjoy this extraordinary addition to the Trump Golf portfolio and look forward to experiencing an exceptional test of golf along the northeast coast of Scotland in the “Home of Golf.”
