New Golf Course Opens at Trump International Links in Scotland

News Summary

U.S. President Donald Trump is set to open the New Course at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, featuring remarkable design elements and panoramic views. The course will host the Scottish Championship and is expected to draw significant security measures during Trump’s upcoming visit. Local authorities are preparing for potential public protests, as sentiments towards Trump remain largely negative among Scots. As the opening approaches, preparations for security and community response are escalating.

Aberdeenshire, Scotland – U.S. President Donald Trump is preparing to open a new golf course named the New Course at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, in August. The course is set to feature the world’s largest natural bunker, mountainous sand dunes, and infinity greens along a scenic coastal ridge. It aims to enhance the existing golfing experience at Trump International Scotland, which already manages two resorts located in Aberdeen and Turnberry.

The new course is designed to complement championship links and promises panoramic views of the Scottish coastline, reinforcing its claim as part of “the Greatest 36 Holes in Golf,” alongside the iconic Old Course. Additionally, it is scheduled to host the Scottish Championship, marking its first time hosting a European Tour event.

In light of Trump’s anticipated visit from July 25-29, significant security preparations are already underway. Police Scotland’s Assistant Chief Constable Emma Bond has confirmed that operational planning for the upcoming visit is in progress, despite the absence of an official confirmation from Trump regarding his travel plans. During his time in Scotland, Trump is expected to hold meetings with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss trade matters ahead of a formal state visit planned for September.

Security measures for the expected visit will be extensive, as seen during Trump’s previous trips when high levels of security were also required. Local authorities are preparing for potential public protests, with sentiments towards Trump in Scotland remaining largely negative. Recent polls suggest that approximately 70% of Scots view him unfavorably, reflecting ongoing tensions related to his leadership and policies.

To manage the anticipated demands on resources for security, local police are coordinating mutual aid from other UK police forces. Moreover, the Civil Aviation Authority has imposed flying regulations around the Aberdeenshire site during Trump’s visit, prohibiting drones and other aircraft below a height of 1,000 feet.

Trump’s visit may be met with opposition, especially from groups like the Scottish Greens, who have labeled him a “convicted felon” and criticized his policies regarding human rights. Public protests have been a common occurrence during Trump’s past visits to the UK, particularly in 2018, and increased security and police presence is expected to address any similar events during this upcoming trip.

As Trump focuses on the new golf course opening, his family members, Eric and Donald Jr., continue to manage The Trump Organization while their father remains in office. This transition in management has reinforced the family’s ongoing involvement in their business interests in Scotland.

The New Course, heralded by The Trump Organization as “an exceptional golfing experience,” further expands the Trump golf portfolio in Scotland. With two professional tournaments scheduled to take place at the Old Course in late July and August, the significance of golf in the region is poised for a boost, especially with the addition of the new establishment.

In summary, as the opening of the New Course at Trump International Golf Links approaches, preparations for security measures and community response are escalating. Both the anticipated visit from President Trump and the grand opening of the new course will undoubtedly captivate local attention, amid a backdrop of strong public sentiment and organized protests.
