I've seen the plans for the three holes planned and they will be terrific, a par three like the 14th at winterfield and a par four like the 1st at Machrahanish, they'll replace the first three holes.

Any idea when a final decision is due on this. My brother and his mates are heading to the Scottish Open as they were offered tickets after the Friday of the Ryder Cup was rained out.
Can I pass on their thanks for this thread as they were just about to put plans in place for going to Loch Lomond.

Craw,ya rumours are complete pish..............
The Barclays Scottish Open looks set to be held at Castle Stuart, near Inverness, next year before moving to The Renaissance Club in East Lothian in 2012.
A decision regarding the event's future is believed to be imminent and it appears these two new courses are both going to get their chance.
Speaking in Singapore yesterday, Europe's winning-Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie said: "Castle Stuart for one year and then the Renaissance Club is a good decision.
"But then with any national Open, it should probably move around the country. I've heard Castle Stuart is a great golf course, and it's in a great links area of Scotand.
"It's a long way north for everybody especially as the next week is the Open Championship at Royal St. Georges. but it will be two links golf courses back-to-back and that's what the players have wanted, so we look forward to it."
As reported in The Scotsman earlier this week, both courses were visited by European Tour officials recently after it was decided that alternate venues should be looked at.
Loch Lomond, which has staged the Scottish Open since 1996, is still under contract for next year's event, but it now appears it will be heading for the Highlands instead.
It is believed that thousands of hotel beds have been provisionally booked in the Inverness area and confirmation could come as early as Monday.
It still remains to be seen what will happen in 2013, when The Open is at Muirfield.
