Our second season with Cape Breton Island approaches with Stanley Thompson’s masterpiece at Highlands Links fully restored to its original excellence.  There is every expectation that World #98 (GOLF Magazine) will be rising in the rankings.

Hotel Boost for Angus

PerryGolf Staff

We at PerryGolf are always very excited at the announcement of new hotels – especially when they will work well for golf destinations – and so we are pleased to hear that the Wyndam Hotel Group are planning a new resort including a championship course designed by Darren Clarke just outside of Dundee.  This will be the first Wyndam Resort in Scotland and should make an already attractive golfing destination a “must play”…especially with the new Trump Course just an hour up the road and Carnoustie Golf Links and St. Andrews on your doorstep!

You can see full details of the development by clicking here.
