"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
