The 10th hole at Dundonald Links, where the Trust Golf Women’s Scottish Open will be held in 2022.
The Ayrshire event hosted the event for three consecutive years starting in 2015 while it was owned by Loch Lomond Golf Club.

The work also included spending £ 1 million on the course designed by Kyle Phillips.
Ian Ferguson, Club Manager at Dundonald Links, said, “We are excited to host the Trust Golf Women’s Scottish Open next year and to work with Trust Golf, VisitScotland, the LPGA, LET and IMG to bring this prestigious event to life.
“The course has improved tremendously since the last event took place here in 2017 and we can’t wait to see these golf fans around the world.
“With all the improvements that have been made to the course, we believe it is the perfect place to showcase the best female golfers and give them a real links test.”
The Scottish Government and VisitScotland announced last year a five-year commitment to the Women’s Scottish Open with investments of up to £ 6 million by 2025.
Paul Bush OBE, Director of Events at VisitScotland, said, “Dundonald Links already has an excellent reputation as a championship venue and, having previously hosted the Women’s Scottish Open, I am excited to bring the event to North Ayrshire with Trust Golf as title partner returns.
“Darwin Escapes’ investment in new accommodation and a standout clubhouse will not only add world class event facilities, it will also enhance the area’s tourist offer and will hopefully encourage golfers and visitors to explore the great Ayrshire coast in 2022.” when Scotland plays host to what is arguably the greatest golf year of all time. “
This year’s Trust Golf Women’s Scottish Open in Dumbarnie Links was won by the American Ryann O’Toole.

“The Dundonald Links team has created something very special and shares our vision to offer a world-class tournament for the best players in the world.”
Lindsey Esse, Managing Director of Darwin Escapes said: “When we acquired Dundonald Links in 2019 we knew it had great potential to become one of the UK’s top golf resorts and it is amazing to see our plans come true .
