Trump’s Turnberry Sets 2024 Sales Record as Both Scottish Courses Report Losses

Record turnover proved insufficient to overcome costs, extending years of losses at both Scottish properties.

Overview

  • New filings show Turnberry generated about £24 million in 2024 revenue, a roughly 15% rise, yet recorded an overall loss of approximately £632,000 after depreciation.
  • SLC Turnberry reported an operating profit of £2.3 million before non‑cash charges, reflecting stronger trading despite the bottom‑line loss.
  • Trump International Golf Links at the Menie Estate posted a £937,693 loss for 2024, improving from about £1.4 million the previous year.
  • Company reports attribute Turnberry’s record sales to robust demand from groups and leisure travelers, with peak‑season tee times reported as high as £1,000 for non‑resort guests.
  • Filings note ongoing capital investment and a workforce of 446 at Turnberry paid £10.3 million in wages, and the R&A’s new chief signaled conditional interest in a future Open at the venue due to infrastructure constraints.
