The Grove
A modern classic at England’s finest new resort.

Newly acquired, Dundonald makes an exceptionally worthy companion to Lyle Anderson’s Loch Lomond, a renowned international private club in Scotland with members from 42 countries, and 48 of America’s states. With the addition of Dundonald, Loch Lomond Golf Club, located just 30 minutes from Scotland’s Glasgow International airport, has surely become the world’s “mecca” of golf. Read More…

Just a half-hour’s drive from London proper, the resort’s grandeur is painted across a 300-acre demesne whose fresh-air pleasures include an aristocratic-looking golf course laid out by the Kingsbarns Kid himself, Kyle Phillips.

Scotland on Sunday
By Paul Forsyth

On a warm summer’s evening by the Ayrshire coast, as lengthening shadows are cast across the dunes and the hazy outline of the Isle of Arran shimmers in the distance, it seems almost sacrilegious to suggest that so spiritual a setting, a haven at one with nature, could be manufactured by hand.
