TRUMP
INTERNATIONAL
GOLF LINKS
Situated in an area of
exceptional natural beauty,
there was never any doubt that
Trump International was going
to wow golf’s devotees. For
the scenery alone; undulating
dunes, marram grass and the
white-capped waves of the
North Sea, Donald Trump’s
flagship golf course is worthy
of a visit. Add in a beautifully
designed links course and
an opulent clubhouse and it’s
easy to see why Golf World
magazine voted the course 4th
in its top 100 courses. Open all
the year round, Trump Links,
which bills itself The World’s
Greatest Golf Course, is a par
72 of 7,400 yards. Designed by
Dr Martin Hawtree, the course
seamlessly blends with the
landscape, making the most of
the sand and coarse grass that
is an integral part of any self-
respecting links course. Away
from the course, first class
hospitality is laid on at Macleod
House, where champagne
afternoon tea and fine dining are
the order of the day. The Golf
House serves up classic bar
food made using locally-sourced
ingredients, while Golf House
Shop is stocked with gifts and
trinkets. Corporate hospitality
is available, complete with two-
course lunch and a round of
golf on the northeast’s most
prestigious links course.
