Scotland’s “ghost course” is for sale.

Scotland’s “ghost course” is for sale. As detailed by our Jamie Kennedy, there is a David McLay Kidd layout in a small town in Perth that was completed in 2009 but never opened, even though the course continues to be maintained. The land, once known as “Gleneagles West,” is owned by billionaire Mahdi Al Tajir, and his family in the past has cited Brexit to financial crashes and political reasoning as reasons the grounds are untouched. Houses, a hotel and spa were also planned. However, the nearly 700-acre course is now listed for by property consultancy Knight Frank. “We're expecting a huge amount of interest from across the globe in what could be a once-in-a-lifetime asset: a substantial consented resort development site, with a golf course designed by a celebrated architect, in one of Scotland's most prestigious leisure locations.” Read Kennedy’s piece on the ghost course here.
