The golf courses at Gull Lake View, Stonehedge, Stoatin Brae and Bedford Valley are owned and managed by the Scott family. The courses are all Audubon International Certified Cooperative Sanctuary courses.
For those not fluent in the Gaelic language, "Stoatin Brae" roughly translates as Grand Hill. "Stoatin" is an infrequently used Scottish term meaning grand, beautiful or great. "Brae" is the Scottish word for the slope or brow of a hill. The well-known highland town of Braemar, for example, means "uplands of Marr".

Presidents Cup: Geoff Ogilvy’s International Team take on Brandt Snedeker’s USA Team at the revered Medinah Country Club, near Chicago. The Internationals are trying to halt a run of 11 consecutive American wins. (Sept 24-27).
French Open: Continental Europe’s oldest national championship, dating from 1906, is once again staged on the Albatros Course at Le Golf National, near Paris. Defending champion is America’s Michael Kim. (Sept 24-27).
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
