Dundonald Links has once again demonstrated why it is considered one of Scotland’s premier golfing destinations after receiving the Best Course Condition award on the Ladies European Tour (LET). The award recognises the outstanding presentation of the Ayrshire links during the ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open, one of the flagship events on the international women’s golf calendar.
Presented at the 2026 LET Season Launch, the accolade was voted for by players and officials on the tour, making it a particularly meaningful recognition of the course’s quality and tournament preparation. The award highlights the dedication and expertise of the Dundonald Links greenkeeping team, led by course superintendent Rob Wooddisse, whose work ensures the course is presented to the highest professional standards during championship week.
Each year the ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open attracts many of the world’s best players to Ayrshire, and the 2025 edition was no exception. England’s Lottie Woad claimed victory on her professional debut, defeating a star-studded field that included world number one Nelly Korda, while record crowds gathered to watch the action unfold across the acclaimed links course.
For the greenkeeping team, the award reflects months of preparation and careful attention to every detail of the course. Tournament week demands long hours and meticulous work, from ensuring the fairways and greens are in peak condition to maintaining the classic links characteristics that make Dundonald Links such a compelling test of golf. Recognition from LET players – who compete on many of the finest courses in the world – is a testament to the exceptional standard achieved.
Located in the heart of the Ayrshire golf coast, Dundonald Links has become a regular host for elite professional tournaments, including the Scottish Open and the ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open, and continues to strengthen its reputation as one of the most exciting modern links venues in Europe.
As preparations begin for the next edition of the ISPS HANDA Women’s Scottish Open, this latest award serves as further confirmation that Dundonald Links remains one of the finest championship venues in the game – offering world-class course conditions, exceptional hospitality and an unforgettable links golf experience.
