This package is complimented by two of the newest courses on the world map, namely Castle Stu-art (opened in 2009) which was awarded the title of “Best New Golf Course of the Year”, since hosting The Scottish Open Championship in 2011, 2012 and 2013 and Trump International Golf Links which debuted in the summer of 2012 to huge acclaim.
