Dumbarnie Links

Haven’t seen anything on the forum regarding this new course opening in 2020 in Fife not far from Lundin links

Looks awesome however the green fee for the 1st year is another American target audience as its a whopping £235 a person for 18 holes.

For a new course this is eye watering. Kingsbarns at £312 is for me just unaffordable for one round.

I imagine that one at Coul near Dornoch will also be ridiculous money once its built.

It's been discussed. I agree way too expensive however if the target audience pay the money they'll keep charging top dollar.

Looks phenomenal.

Only seen it from the road driving back from Elie. Looks beautiful from what I could see. Priced for the overseas visitors. Wonder if they’ll do a locals / winter rate ?

It would have to look all kinds of wonderful for me to pony up £235. I’ll leave it for the Americans and head to somewhere sensible.

Ouch....

There is a 60% discount for Fife residents, course looks superb

been invited to some launch event there next year, TBH i'd never heard of it until i'd got the invite.

lucky for me no one else is the slightest bit interested in golf at HIAL

The pics do look stunning, but £235 a round would need to offer something else, that’s a society fee for both Sunningdale or Berkshire courses with food etc.

I’m interested in the Coul Links one though since my lad is at RDGC now for the next 4 years, if it gets built in time, might get lucky.

Will it not be shut in the winter?

So sad that this market exists yet members clubs are closing down.

Before a couple of years ago, I didn't even realise such markets existed, been quite an eye opener over the last couple of years, with some of the clubs visited.

I suppose the top Scotland courses are similar to the ones in Ireland, mainly overseas visitors ?

yes a great many at the moment its a no brainer for the yanks with the pound being soo weak, be a big shock for a great many places if the £ ever recovers and goes back to prev levels... though under the curent situation i can't see that happening

I could never imagine paying £235 for a round of golf. Never.

 

[pendodave]

there's something a bit uncomfortable about our own country being used as a plaything of the rich at the natives' expense. Welcome to what most of the rest of the world has had to get used to I guess.

Especially when established greats like the Old Course are cheaper.

I'd say yes, but it's easy to say it's worth that much when I didn't pay. Paying brings a level of expectation that is tough to factor in

Love that comment, how true. Looks like a lovely day/course.

Pictures looked grand and good find.

How much would you pay to play Augusta ?

No sure you can.
