Trump’s golf resort in Aberdeenshire has prompted controversy in the past; four years ago the dunes at Menie lost their status as a nationally-important protected environment.
But Trump International claimed the new course was “one of the most environmentally friendly and sustainable” ever built.
Images show areas of rough covered in heather, with the course perched on the beach, yards from the North Sea.
Sarah Malone, executive vice president of Trump International Scotland, hailed the course as “one of the great wonders in the world of golf”.
She said: “Since breaking ground with President Trump and Eric Trump last spring, we have made extraordinary progress.
“This course is unlike any other links course ever built and is exceeding every expectation.
“A truly remarkable, world-class team of architects, engineers, environmental scientists and industry specialists have been working tirelessly in the background – etching out every square inch of this phenomenal piece of land to create one of the great wonders in the world of golf.”
