New Scottish golf resort could require gamers to buy golf waterproofs to brave the course.

Published: 09 December 2008

A new £50 million golf resort to be developed in Scotland has been given the go-ahead.

The five star resort will be built next to Rutherford Castle Golf Club near West Linton and will feature 150 hotel rooms, a leisure club, restaurant and a conference centre.

As the winter weather grows colder, those planning on visiting the new resort this time next year might want to invest in a golf sweater or argyle jumper to take the chill off when out on the course.

Councillor Vicky Davidson said that the new golf resort was "exactly the kind of investment" needed at this time.

Scotland is well known for offering golf players a range of excellent courses.

American billionaire Donald Trump recently received outline planning permission for a £1 billion golf resort near Aberdeen.

The resort is set to have 36 luxury golf villas and 950 holiday homes as well as a golf academy.
