The Golf Business
By Seamus Rotherick
In 2021, Adventurous Journeys (AJ) Capital Partners launched Marine & Lawn Hotels & Resorts with two first hotels in Scotland: Rusacks, St Andrew and Marine North Berwick, in two of the world’s most premier golf destinations. The brand now carries the reputation of rejuvenating iconic properties adjacent to the most sought-after golf courses in the world, infusing hospitality into each.
The brand recently announced plans to open two hotels under its banner this year: Slieve Donard, located in Newcastle, County Down in Northern Ireland – the collection’s first expansion outside of Scotland – and Dornoch Station in Dornoch, Scotland. Currently undergoing renovations, both properties will relaunch this year with updated guest rooms, public spaces and food and beverage concepts. Led by AJ Capital’s in-house design team, Marine & Lawn properties are inspired by each destination’s coastal positioning, rich golf history and legendary storytelling.
