MACDONALD HOTELS SIGN THREE-YEAR
DEAL TO HOST SCOTTISH CHALLENGE
AT ONE OF THEIR HOTEL VENUES

Macdonald Hotels and Resorts have signed a three-year deal with the European Challenge Tour to be the host venue to the Scottish Challenge.
The event this year will be played at Macdonald Cardrona Hotel, Golf & Country Club, Peebles, from August 9-12, with a total prize fund of €200,000.
Designed by the world renowned golf course architect, Dave Thomas, and set against the backdrop of some of the Scottish Borders’ most beautiful scenery, the Macdonald Cardrona Hotel, Golf and Country Club will pose a fitting test for one of the 2007 Challenge Tour’s richest, and therefore, most important events.
Last year’s inaugural Scottish Challenge at Murcar Links Golf Club was won by Sam Walker, whose victory enabled him to claim one of the 20 European Tour cards available through the final Challenge Tour Rankings.
Murcar Links Golf Club could not stage this year's Scottish Challenge because the tournament is being played later in the summer.
