A SCOTTISH golf course is to create 20 additional jobs with a new £5 million community facility.
Work is now under way on the extension at Carnoustie Golf Links, with the introduction of a “world-class 100-cover bar and restaurant”, facilitated by support from the Royal Bank of Scotland.
The funding package will also see seven state-of-the-art golf simulators installed within the building, along with new locker rooms, caddy facilities and a pro shop.
The extension is set to open in March ahead of the 147th Open, which is being held on the Championship Course in July.
Michael Wells, chief executive at Carnoustie Golf Links, said: “Our new
world-class facilities aim to make golf as accessible as possible to the public and we’d encourage anyone, from novice to pro, to come along and experience Carnoustie.
“Whether you decide to tee it up on the historic links or not, everyone can enjoy a great atmosphere and great food at our new restaurant.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
