"Newburgh On Ythan Golf Club next door to Trump International
Golf Links!! Donald Trump recently announced plans to invest
£300 million pounds to build Trump International Golf
Links at Menie Estate, Scotland. There will be 2 championship
courses built over some of the finest sand dunes and coastline
in Scotland. Newburgh On Ythan Golf Club is located approximately
2 miles north and offers a chance to play on the exact same
stretch of coastline as the proposed championship links.
Newburgh-on-Ythan Golf Club was founded in 1888 and was originally
a nine hole course laid out on the Newburgh Links which is
located along the River Ythan estuary and the coastal dunes.
The course was extended in 1996 and the new nine holes - the
outward half - is characterised by undulations and hills,
with elevated tees and greens requiring a range of shot making.
The original inward nine demands accurate golf from tee to
green and is the epitome of the typical Scottish links course.
The course at Newburgh is noted for the quality of its greens,
its playability regardless to the weather conditions and its
magnificent setting.
The Paul Lawrie Junior Classic has become an annual event
at Newburgh."
Mark Sinclair Newburgh-on-Ythan's Secretary
