Trump International Scotland

Sitting on a dramatic stretch of coastline just north of Aberdeen, Trump International Scotland delivers a bold, modern links experience built through towering dunes, with wide fairways, firm turf and large, contoured greens that reward imagination and confident shot-making, demanding without being unfair, and every bit a true Scottish test when the wind gets up. Marketed as “the greatest 36 holes in golf” across its Old and New Courses, the resort itself is smart and polished but not stuffy, with the main hotel and luxury MacLeod House & Lodge chalets both offering plenty of room, comfort and sea or dune views. Dining is relaxed and well executed with a focus on local produce and hearty Scottish classics, and service is professional and attentive throughout; a resort built first and foremost around serious golf.
