A new masterpiece on the Aberdeenshire coast.



North of Aberdeen, the North Sea carves the coastline with ancient patience. Here, the landscape is not tamed; it is befriended. Trump International Scotland has merged perfectly into these monumental dunes. Today, the opening of the MacLeod Course completes the vision. The estate now offers a full musical score for the soul.











An Ode to Silence and Wind



Some places feel instantly right. At the MacLeod, luxury is found in simplicity. The wind acts as an architect. The shifting light redraws the fairways every hour.











The original Championship course stunned the world with power. In contrast, this new layout offers nuance. It is not just a "second" course. It is a parallel narrative. It is a quiet, intimate conversation with the Scottish shore.




“The MacLeod does not seek applause. It settles within you, hole after hole, like a whispered truth.”




The Architecture of Restraint



This layout avoids the spectacular for the sake of it. There is no room for bravado here. The dunes dictate the strategy. The greens are pure and demand reflection rather than brute force.











The first course was about sovereign power. The MacLeod Course—opened in summer 2025—is more complex. Architect Dr. Martin Hawtree designed a Par 72 stretching across 7,589 yards. The journey covers three landscapes: giant dunes, soft heathlands, and silent wetlands.



You will find giants here, like the world’s largest natural bunker. It looks hollowed out by a titan, not a man. Yet, the true luxury is invisible. The course was born from its own soil. Every grain of sand was sourced from the estate to protect the soul of Aberdeenshire.











The Art of the Stay



The Trump International experience is built for "slow time." Moving from the Championship course to the MacLeod is like changing movements in a concerto. You leave the drama behind for a more contemplative phase.



This duality defines the world's greatest destinations. It prevents emotional burnout and creates lasting satisfaction. You do not just play a round; you inhabit the landscape.











The Golfstars Perspective



Excellence is more than perfect maintenance. It is about coherence. The MacLeod Course elevates the entire estate. Its rhythm and integration stay with the golfer long after the 18th hole. At Golfstars, we do not just rate a design. We evaluate the intention behind it.







TRAVEL JOURNAL: THE DESTINATION



For those wishing to retrace their steps through the sands of Aberdeen, the Trump International Scotland experience reveals itself far beyond the fairways.











The MacLeod Legacy A Par 72 — 7,589 yards masterpiece signed by Dr. Martin Hawtree. This "next-generation" links seamlessly blends monumental dunes with the quiet beauty of northern heathlands and wetlands. It is home to the planet’s largest natural bunker—a geological marvel that defines the horizon.











Living the Estate The immersion continues at MacLeod House & Lodge, a 15th-century Scottish mansion restored with understated opulence. To conclude the day, the Clavis Whisky Bar offers a curated selection of over 250 rare malts, while The Dunes restaurant celebrates the raw bounty of the North Sea and the richness of Aberdeenshire beef.

Trump International Scotland: The Awakening of the MacLeod

A new masterpiece on the Aberdeenshire coast. North of Aberdeen, the North Sea carves the coastline with ancient patience. Here, the landscape is not tamed; it is befriended. Trump International Scotland has merged perfectly into these monumental dunes. Today, the opening of the MacLeod Course completes the vision. The estate now offers a full musical score for the soul. […]

A Haven of Peace at Bordeaux’s Doorstep



Golf Bluegreen Pessac ★★★







Barely fifteen minutes from Bordeaux’s urban bustle, you find yourself deep in a pine forest. At Bluegreen Pessac★★★, the scene changes abruptly: 120 hectares of nature, a wooded sanctuary where the hush of the pines contrasts with the city’s energy. For visitors from Paris or abroad, it offers an unexpected breath of calm — a pause where golf becomes an escape.







Water as a Guiding Thread



At Pessac, water is never far away. It flows through the 18-hole course, but also the 9-hole, the compact, and even the practice area. More than a backdrop, it’s a companion in play — discreet to the eye, yet formidable at impact. Each pond poses a question: prudence or daring? Every shot here demands strategy, instinct, and a touch of courage.







Architecture in Service of the Game



Designed by architect Olivier Brizon, the course benefits from sandy soil, making it one of the few in the region playable year-round. The subtly elevated greens provide excellent natural drainage and maintain quality roll despite a modest maintenance team. While it doesn’t claim the rigor of a private championship course, Pessac strikes a rare balance between accessibility and technical challenge, offering remarkable value just outside Bordeaux.







A Public Course Open to All



As part of the Bluegreen network, Golf de Pessac★★★ upholds a clear mission: making golf accessible. Introductory sessions, training camps, a golf school — the year is filled with opportunities for beginners to discover the sport in a welcoming environment. Its public vocation pairs with complete facilities: driving range, short game areas, putting green, compact course, 9-hole, and a convivial restaurant. Families, learners, and seasoned golfers alike will find a terrain both varied and lively.











Atmosphere and Sensations



Playing at Pessac means being wrapped in the filtered light of the pines, the shimmering reflections of water, the resin-scented forest air. It means embracing a course that challenges you with every hole — through its hazards, elevations, and nuances. The feeling is rare: to be so far away, while standing so close to Bordeaux.







Our Visit to Pessac



For Octobre Rose (Breast Cancer Awareness Month), we played the 18-hole course with Aude Bredel, founder of GolfHer. Together we took on the blue tees, aiming to beat the channel’s record (-3 over 9 holes). On this occasion, GolfHer pledged to offer a box of premium golf balls for every birdie made to community members who purchased a pair of socks and voted for GolfStars — a playful and committed way to support the fight against cancer while discovering a rated and referenced course in the GolfStars Guide.

In Summary



Bluegreen Pessac★★★ is an immersion in Bordeaux’s pine forest — a varied, engaging course where water and elevated greens set the rhythm. It’s also a public golf course true to its mission of openness, where one can both begin and progress, year-round, at a fair price. For visitors passing through Bordeaux, it’s the ideal stop: an authentic, welcoming golf experience where you play as much for the score as for the pure joy of being outdoors, among the pines.

In 2025, the Orient Express revives a magic once thought confined to novels: that of a journey where the point of departure fades away, allowing the traveler to savor the present in motion. On board La Dolce Vita, Italian landscapes unfurl like the shop windows of a Parisian night glimpsed from a taxi—except here, it is rolling hills, vineyards, and legendary golf courses that pass by, offered to the eye as fleeting tableaux.















The carriages, restored with the splendor of the 1960s, blend velvet, polished wood, and soft lighting. Cabins transform into refined suites, true cocoons in motion. Travel becomes a ritual of gastronomy orchestrated by three-star chef Heinz Beck, who reinterprets the flavors of the regions crossed. In the morning, delicate treats echo the first light of day; by evening, the Italian aperitivo becomes a joyful ceremony, where wine and cocktails mingle with music.















But the Golf Train is a world first: a four-day, three-night itinerary designed for golf enthusiasts. The Northern Greensdeparts in October 2025. The journey begins in Rome, at the Marco Simone Golf & Country Club, host of the 2023 Ryder Cup. Next comes Franciacorta, with its 27 holes and Pete Dye’s signature championship course, set in one of the world’s most celebrated wine regions. The route continues to Turin and the Royal Park I Roveri, nestled within La Mandria National Park and home to Edoardo Molinari’s academy. Finally, depending on the chosen path, travelers set down their clubs either in Umbria, at the demanding Antognolla designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., or in Tuscany, at Terme di Saturnia, where fairways lie beside ancient hot springs. And as a grand finale to this journey, comes the stop at Argentario Golf Club: Italy’s only PGA National course since 2019, nestled in the unspoiled heart of the Maremma. Between the Tyrrhenian Sea and its crystalline lagoon, this spectacular layout will host the 2025 Italian Open—offering a magnificent conclusion to this rail odyssey.























From November 2025, The Italian Swing heads south. Again, the journey begins at Marco Simone before moving on to Puglia and the windswept San Domenico, a seaside links along the Adriatic where every shot is a battle with the elements. Tuscany then returns in grandeur with the exclusive Castiglion del Bosco, crafted by Tom Weiskopf and envisioned by Massimo Ferragamo amid his Brunello vineyards. Here, golf and wine converse in a rare harmony.











Each stop is punctuated by warm welcomes, cultural discoveries, and local tastings. Professionals accompany the voyage, offering masterclasses and conversations that turn the journey into both a sporting and an initiatory experience.















Beyond golf, La Dolce Vita Orient Express offers eight other itineraries across Italy: Venice and Portofino, Matera and its eternal stones, luminous Sicily, the rolling hills of Piedmont, and the vineyards of Tuscany. More than 130 cities are rediscovered in the elegance of a train that pays homage to Italy’s golden age—the era of Fellini, Sophia Loren, and Marcello Mastroianni.















This journey is more than a string of destinations: it is a reinvention of time itself. The rhythm of the rails invites slowness, like a round of golf savored shot by shot. Between passing landscapes, awaiting greens, and glasses of Brunello shared at dusk, the Orient Express offers far more than transport: a celebration of the senses, a way of life in motion, an adventure where Italy reveals itself with the elegance of yesterday and the pleasures of today.

On board La Dolce Vita, Italian landscapes unfurl like the shop windows of a Parisian night glimpsed from a taxi—except here, it is rolling hills, vineyards, and legendary golf courses that pass by, offered to the eye as fleeting tableaux.
