A golf course is not a visitor's centre, neither is a hotel. It is true that wealthy Americans will probably spend money there though.

Quote from NT statement:
As a conservation charity the Trust’s over-riding focus is the protection of the environment and landscape within the distinctive setting of Northern Ireland’s only World Heritage Site. We believe this farmland and dune system is the wrong place for such a massive development.

Well of course it's not, and though SH needed to get rid of the old building close to the stones it does smack of double standards.

I can't see any problem with the development myself.
