Anyone know anything about this course by DM Kidd opening in 2007 near the Giant's Causeway in Ireland.  It's mentioned in Finegan's new book....
So I jump ship in Hong Kong....

Brad - I looked for info on this, but couldn't find anything, apart from a very small bit on DMK's website - and that seems to be well out of date.

David did a layout there back when we were just finishing Pacific Dunes ... but I haven't heard anything about it since, so it's not on the fast track, anyway.

However, I heard recently that his project just north of Machrihanish is getting ready to start.

That course has been held up with planning discussions for several years. I've heard that there may be movement on it this year, but no work has begun on it at all other than the routing.

Enjoyed a trip to Ireland recently and spent a lot of time around Bushmills', didn't hear a word about it. Neither the caddies at Portstewart or Portrush gave told us about it either, although I grilled them extensively,over a couple pints, about the local golf economy and architecture!

By the way there is just some great stuff at both of the aforementioned courses, certainly worth the trip to the north,
