Overview

Purpose, background and current position

Purpose

Extend primary drainage on the heaviest-clay holes at Scotscraig to reduce winter closures and protect green-fee income.

Background

Phase 1 reduced winter closures by 38% on the front nine. Phase 2 covers fairways 11–15 and is expected to deliver a comparable uplift, paying back lost green-fee income within two seasons.

Current Position

Construction-ready. Awaiting £280k phase 2 funding release (d3). Programme is at 41% but flagged At Risk pending board funding.

Next Key Milestone

Phase 2 funding release — 30 Jun 2026
