Introducing

Along Aberdeenshire’s 165 mile coastline some of our greatest golf courses are to be found. The coastline is famous for its towering sand dunes where golf courses snake between the dunes and then ascend to elevated tees to reveal breathtaking views. Views of both sea and sky stretch for miles up here, made even more majestic by the light. Golf can be played throughout the year and never fails to disappoint.

 

 

 

 

 

Royal Aberdeen

Founded in 1780, Royal Aberdeen is the sixth oldest golf club in the world. Many major events have been played on the club’s Balgownie Links, which is characterised by numerous bunkers, heavy gorse and the constant weather elements.

Over the years Royal Aberdeen has hosted many championships – the first major held here was The Senior British Open in 2005 and it has subsequently hosted the 2014 Scottish Open.

The course ranks 18th in the U.K and 56th in the world.

Murcar

Murcar Links is a Championship layout which has as good a stretch of holes as many of its more famous contemporaries. Definitely not for the faint hearted, it represents a very challenging test of golf. To play it requires every shot in the book and if the wind is up, many more besides. Co-hosted the 2018 Amateur Championship with Royal Aberdeen.

Cruden Bay

Cruden Bay is a thrilling and unique golf course. It’s also widely regarded as the most photogenic golf course in Scotland as it winds its way through towering sand dunes to punchbowl greens. It boasts panoramic sea views, a stunning beach, driveable ‘risk and reward’ par 4’s and back to back par 3’s. It provides a unique form of original links golf entertainment that gives the course a real sense of personality.

No wonder Cruden Bay is ranked 11th in Scotland, 24th in the UK and 75th in the World.

Trump International

Trump International is a world class links course designed by Martin Hawtree that opened in 2012 after seven years of high profile disputes with local landowners and environmentalists. It occupies a three mile stretch of land between Murcar Links and Cruden Bay on the North Sea coast. Although a new addition to Scotland’s golfing landscape, there is no doubt of its quality and beauty. The 18th tee shot is truly memorable perched up high on the Balmedie dune system.

The course ranks 10th in Scotland, 20th in UK and 65th in the world.

Meldrum

Founded in 1885, Meldrum Golf course was designed by Graham Webster and is one of the most beautiful parkland golf courses in the country. The mature woodland backdrop, meticulous landscaping and abundant wildlife offer a change to our more typical links courses. It is USGA-constructed with cross cut fairways, manicured greens and water features. The clubhouse boasts a luxurious lounge and balcony that offers views over the 1st, 17th and 18th holes.
