Dundonald Links announces instituting new green fee structure

Scotland, United Kingdom -- Dundonald Links, the new links course owned by the world-renowned Loch Lomond Golf Club, is now opening its doors to visitor play with a new green fee structure.

Designed by Kyle Phillips, one of the game's top architects, Dundonald Links is a true test of links golf that has been quietly maturing with member rounds. Since opening in 2003, the course has matured to the point that it is now ready for an increased level of play.

“Dundonald is a fantastic links course that has already hosted final qualifying for the Senior British Open Championship and was recognized as one of the best new courses in world in the 2004 Robb Report,” said Niall Flanagan, General Manager of Loch Lomond Golf Club and Dundonald Links. “We feel the time is right to increase the number of rounds played by giving access to visitors during weekdays and weekends.

“We believe we can offer visitors a combination of a great golf course and exceptional levels of customer service,” added Flanagan. “From the valet parking on arrival, to wonderful food and beverage and a unique locker room service, visitors will enjoy a first-class day of golf.”

Located on the stunning Ayrshire coast, near the legendary town of Troon, Dundonald Links is only ten minutes from Prestwick Airport and half an hour from Glasgow Airport.

With a host of other championship golf courses on its doorstep, Dundonald Links is a wonderful addition to any Ayrshire golfing itinerary. It lays claim to being a golf course for real golfers, as master-craftsman Kyle Phillips has created a classic links course that blends in seamlessly with the natural surroundings, in a similar vein to his highly-acclaimed Kingsbarns Golf Links.

"My desire was to create a championship Ayrshire-style links course that felt and played as though it were an old, rediscovered course, by integrating newly constructed features with existing site features," noted Phillips.

Green-fees are available at the following prices: Monday to Wednesday: Ł95 ($185); Thursday and Friday: Ł110 ($215); and Saturday and Sunday: Ł125 ($245). Dollar rates are subject to change based on the daily exchange rate.
