Trump International Golf Links Scotland sits on a rugged stretch of the Aberdeenshire coastline, covered in sandy dunes. The golf course in Balmedie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, owned by Donald Trump, opened in 2012, and together with the original Old Course launched to international acclaim in 2012, the New Course now forms what is being celebrated as The Greatest 36 Holes in Golf. The property sits in dramatic isolation with spectacular views of the North Sea, where you'll find yourself battling relentless Scottish coastal winds among massive dune formations and heathland. Every detail of the 7589-yard New Course has been shaped with precision and passion, from the colossal natural bunkers to the majestic rolling landscape that gives the course its signature drama. This is a brutally challenging links experience—not for the faint of heart or high-handicappers—but for golfers who live for dramatic coastal golf and don't mind paying premium rates for one of the world's most imposing courses.
The original championship links course designed by Dr. Martin Hawtree, opening in 2012, stretching over 7,400 yards with dramatic dune-framed holes hugging the North Sea coastline.
Newly opened in summer 2025, this modern links masterpiece spans 7,589 yards through even more dramatic coastal terrain with the world's largest natural sand bunker and wetland areas.
