Donald Trump's new golf course is now under construction.

Published: 30 October 2009

Work is now underway on a new golf course in Scotland, which is being built by billionaire tycoon Donald Trump.

The golf course has been the cause of much controversy as the building of the holiday complex linked to the course requires some homes in the area to be knocked down.

The resort is set to include two golf courses, around 1,000 holiday villas, a five-star luxury hotel and a golfing academy.

Before visiting the new course, people may want to invest in some warm golf clothing to keep the cold Scottish air out.

In an interview with the BBC, Trump's son said: "We are trying to deliver a golf course that can really be looked at as the greatest golf course anywhere in the world."

He claimed that the "vast majority" of people in the north-east are supportive of the project.

The course is set to cost $1 billion and is being built on a stretch of the Aberdeenshire coastline.
