Donald Trump’s Aberdeenshire golf course has faced financial losses, accumulating over £16m in 11 years. Despite this, the Trump family remains committed to investing in the property. The latest financial statements showed a pre-tax loss of £1.4 million in 2023, reflecting the ongoing investment being made by the family.
Executive vice president Sarah Malone emphasized the club’s vision of creating the “greatest 36 holes in golf.” She highlighted that such a project requires long-term investment and that the Trump Organization’s dedication to the property has not wavered. Malone stated that the Trump family’s love for Scotland and golf is the driving force behind their commitment to the Aberdeenshire golf course.
The Trump Organization’s investment in the property has been crucial in putting the north-east on the world golf map, according to Malone. She mentioned that the next phase of investment will include another championship links course and additional resort facilities. Malone believes that no other developer is more committed to the project than Trump.
Moreover, Trump International Scotland is planning to open a new Aberdeenshire golf course next year and host more tournaments in the future. The success of the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship held this summer has encouraged the club to continue investing in golf in Scotland.
The Trump family’s dedication to the Aberdeenshire golf course is evident through their ongoing financial support and long-term vision for the property. Despite the financial losses, the club remains focused on creating a world-class golf destination that will benefit the local economy and put Scotland on the map as a top golfing destination.
