I’m from New Jersey. Golf courses destroy countrysides?
Maybe Trump could satisfy the author by touting low-income high-rises.
Ecologically sensitive, this stretch of land is one of the last vestiges of actual wilderness in the country.
It looks more like Trump turned what used to be basically a barren grass covered moonscape into something much more attractive. There is now manicured grass surrounded by a barren grass covered moonscape. To me it looks as though there is more than enough of the barren grass covered moonscape left for the local critters to frolic in. And also there are jobs and money still pouring into the local economy. But no good turn goes unrewarded.
The following is the greeting on the golf course’s website.
“Greetings from Donald J. Trump
I am both proud and excited to share with you Trump International Golf Links, in The Home of Golf, Scotland.
I had been actively looking for links land in Europe for the past few years, and of course my preference was Scotland over any other country because I am half Scottish. My Mother, Mary MacLeod was from Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis. She grew up in a simple croft until she landed in Manhattan at the age of 20 and her first language was Gaelic.
When I saw this piece of land I was overwhelmed by the imposing dunes and rugged Aberdeenshire coastline. I knew that this was the perfect site for Trump International, Scotland. I have never seen such an unspoiled and dramatic sea side landscape and the location makes it perfect for our development. Our site is close to two of the world’s most famous courses and is just 25 minutes by car from Aberdeen Airport and 15 minutes from the City Centre.
With the championship links and MacLeod House & Lodge boutique hotel fully established, the golf experience in Scotland has been elevated to new levels of excellence.
Donald J. Trump”
