Trump said that when he asked R&A chief executive Peter Dawson whom to hire as architect, Dawson answered "Martin Hawtree", and when asked for a second choice, answered "Martin Hawtree" again.

Much of the inward nine crosses the Menie Dome, until recently a 25-acre mountain of white sand formed about 40 years earlier when a storm broke through the barrier dunes; marram was planted to stabilise it.
The holes are routed through dunes up to 100 feet high on three miles of North Sea coast, part of a 4,000-year-old dune system protected as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

The 14th starts from an elevated tee beside the sea with panoramic North Sea views and plunges through a valley between towering sandhills.

Martin Hawtree oriented every hole except the 229-yard par-3 13th north-south along the coast, running fairways between the dunes rather than through them; ten acres of grass paths replace cart paths.
