A golfing legend in the making

Years of planning and a £50 million investment have made The Carrick on Loch Lomond the most exciting new challenge in Scottish golf.

Designed by award-winning young Canadian golf architect Doug Carrick, the superb new golf course will include breathtaking sections right along the Loch Lomond foreshore - with one particularly stunning green right on the water's edge.

A crucial factor in the quality of the course is fast-draining land that ensures year-round playability. Doug Carrick has created a traditional Scottish heathland course whose manicured fairways pass through naturalised gorse and heather - substantially reducing the extent of cultivated grass and the need for manufactured chemicals. And long-abandoned gravel workings have formed deep-water lagoons attracting otters, frogs, toads, pike and eels as well as kingfishers, oystercatchers, redshanks, lapwings and great-crested grebes.

You'll enjoy the wildlife - but most of all, you'll enjoy the golf. For further details, see www.thecarrick.com.
