2 new courses being built within 4 miles from me looks like a project worth waiting for.

might be good for you sydney, but why do i, as a UK taxpayer, flinch when i see anything that says "funded by RBS". hope they are not involved in the actual financing of the courses. if so, i want free membership when it opens.

I work 10 miles from here and this is the first I have heard of it??
Not to be a pessimist but 2 new parkland championship courses in the M8 corridor just does not make economic sense.With the state of golf course membership in West Lothian i.e Uphall in administration, Armadale closed, Bridgend in administration/closed and with local competition in the same market of Deer Park and Dalmahoy I can't see this succeeding especially with the catchment area being so small.

I didn't realise that Uphall & Bridgend were in so much bother.
Pity, I like those courses!

Me neither. This is very high risk in this overall economic climate and with a less and less golfers...

I'd rather play golf along the length of the M8, hitting off the tarmac than go back to Dalmahoy. Dreadful course. I also suspect that it won't need much investment or design to be better than Deer Park.

The whole development would be just south of the country park with the golf courses about 1 mile south. Click on the picture on this link and it gives you a good look at the plan.
