NEW COURSE FOR DE VERE ON LOCH LOMOND

[Cameron House] One of Scotland’s most charming and luxurious properties, De Vere’s Cameron House, located directly on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, has long had a challenging and fun to play 9-hole course on property. It has just been announced that respected Canadian golf course architect Doug Carrick will design a new course for DeVere Resort Ownership, called Midross, slated to open in 2005.

The 300-acre site is situated directly on the shores of Loch Lomond, next to the Loch Lomond Golf Club and about a mile from Cameron House. 100 acres of the site will be set aside and preserved as a nature reserve consisting of woodlands and placid lagoons, bird and otter sanctuaries.

The project on Loch Lomond by De Vere Resort Ownership, who in addition to Cameron House, is the owner operator of The Belfry, Slaley Hall, Belton Woods, among other fine golf resorts throughout the United Kingdom, will include an 18-hole championship course, 100 timeshare lodges and a clubhouse with leisure center.

The course will be designed in a traditional heathland style incorporating the natural elements of the area. The routing will take the layout through a variety of local landscape features – from the shores of Loch Lomond, along inland lagoons, across open meadows, to the edges of Auchentullich Woods and up into the dramatic hills with stunning views of the Loch. Carrick is quick to note that his goal is to remain true to designing a course which reflects the rich heritage of Scottish golf.

Cameron House, and the new Midross Course, are conveniently located only about 1/2 hour from the Glasgow airport, making it a perfect beginning or ending to a Scottish itinerary.
