Trump International Golf Links Scotland

About
Trump International Golf Links Scotland sits on a rugged stretch of the Aberdeenshire coastline. Covered in sandy dunes, the landscape is the ideal terrain for links golf. The layout of the golf course follows the natural contours of the land, dipping into the scenic valleys and tumbling across gentle hills. The course stretches to just over 7,400 yards, routed in a classic pattern of two out-and-back loops of nine holes. The golf course has a varied layout that offers both spaciousness and seclusion. Golfers will enjoy plenty of variety from hole to hole as well as panoramic views of the sea. Like any traditional links course, the strategically placed bunkers and prevailing coastal winds present the most formidable challenges. Five sets of tees make the course approachable for all skill levels, however.

Worth The Trip
Fantastic staff, from the pro shop to the starter, to the restaurant. Course was in excellent condition, with a wide variety of interesting holes. Good to have a variety of tees to make sure you could choose the length to fit your abilities, something other courses here need to do more of. We played in a 1-2 club wind, I can only imagine how difficult it might be if the wind were stronger. Politics aside, if you can play this course at $225 or less, it’s worth doing.
October visit
Course was in top condition this week , from driving range & Putting green to. Clubhouse & staff
I’ve been lucky to play the course a few times now and it never disappoints,
It’s a must play in the Scotland 10/10
Look for to my next visit
trump Aberdeen....wow
leave your pokitics aside...this is the best golf course in the world!
I have played the #1 golf course in the world...royal County down. trump beats it! the spectacular scenary...immaculate grass conditions....perfectly raked bunkers...the awesome pro shop....the impeccable practice facilities....the amazingly difficult course....LOVE IT!!! if you are a good golfer, you need to test your abilities here....make sure you can play into the wind and accurate as there is nonfinding balls in the rough of the dunes. if you aren't playing well, at least, its the most stunning walk you will ever have!
Fantastic course
The course was in excellent condition, very tricky to play in the wind however the choice of different tee boxes is a help
Best course i hav ever played
Super service from Staff!
Asked som players coming off Hole 9, is it worth the price to play a round here? They just looked at each other and smiled. We decided to play, and thank you!!! This was an experience for a lifetime.
Perfect fairways, greens, bunkers. And…. Best view you can get in Scotland!!
Amazing golf courses
One of the best golf course , I used to play. If anyone never plays here, I suggest to play.
Trump international
Played over 150 courses in Scotland, can honestly say this course is up there in the top 3 if not the best, course was in beautiful condition, best greens I've ever putted on staff very friendly and helpful, superb short game practice area. £150 was paid but worth every penny. Got lucky with perfect weather conditions. Expect it would be an absolute brut in windy conditions, overall a brilliant golfing experience.
BEST COURSE!
This is probably the best golf courses I’ve ever played and I’ve played many bucket list courses! From the great Scottish dunes to playing along side the ocean and the windmills off in the distance. The course is immaculate and beautiful no matter where you are on the course. Beautiful clubhouse and amazing staff as well, I would say a MUST GOLF when in Scotland! Just don’t miss the fairway!
Absolutely superb golf course
The course is absolutely superb. There is not a bad, or weak, hole in the 18. You have to be true and straight with all your tee shots to have any chance of getting into the greens. You also have to be longish as well as some of the holes are monsters....especially the 18th. The fairways are in excellent condition and the greens are very good. It is a lot of money but at £125 it is worth it.
Amazing course
This is a golf course that you gotta play. If you are truely love golf. It’s fantastic golf course I ever play.
Not for the faint hearted
This course is tremendous. The layout and scenery is breathtaking and not for the faint hearted. You have to be bold in your shot selection especially with the wind and elevations. I played on a Golf Now hot deal that was excellent value and there was hardly anyone on the course so pace was great. Play the tees appropriate to your handicap as it is imperative to hit fairways due to the punishing rough. In hindsight, I would have played the ones further up to give myself the best opportunity to savour the course and experience.
Spectacular
This golf course is simply spectacular. I’d been told very good things but it is way better than that. The condition is superb but the landscape and course layout are jaw-dropping. The day I played it was 40mph winds and rain squalls but even the horrendous weather conditions didn’t detract from this place. Obviously it’s very expensive and the showers/changing facilities are average at best but the golf course is incredible.
Well worth the effort to get there.
Played Trump International on 15/9/22. Course was excellent, greens average pace but in great condition. Layout of the course is stunning as the holes sweep through and around the dunes. A tough track with a strong NW wind that was only really at our backs on the 13th hole. Scores reflected this but it did not detract from the day.
Great course
Enjoyed the course, as always, and in great condition.
Trump 2022
Fantastic course played white tees very challenging into wind not a course to be wild on ,' disappointed no hot food available on the day
Incredible
What a man, what a course, what an experience, cant fault anything, from the welcome and starter pack to breakfast to the range and chipping green and putting green all 5 star facilities, highly recomend a sausage roll at halfway
Amazing Course!
Great track! Really enjoyed it and had excellent weather for the day. Staff at the clubhouse were excellent and very attentive which adds to the overall experience!
