 Golf :

SCOTLAND: HOME OF GREAT GOLF
Scottish Golf Trails

Scotland is The Home of Golf. This great game has been played on these shores for centuries and golf balls have been hit round Scotland’s north-east coast for nearly as long as in any other part of the country.

Today, north-east Scotland boasts over 70 golf courses. From stunning links courses to magnificent inland ones, there are plenty of choose from. The region’s courses are often overlooked by golfers keen to play some of their more famous cousins. To overlook the courses of north-east Scotland is to miss out on some of the world’s greatest rounds of golf. It is this choice and the golfing heritage that runs through every Scottish course which inspired us to establish Scottish Golf Trails.

Here are just some of the major golfing attractions in our immediate area:

Royal Aberdeen Golf Club

For many pundits, Royal Aberdeen’s Balgownie course is regarded as golf in its purest form. It is recognised as one of the finest natural links courses in the country, and over the years top world-class professionals have made their pilgrimage to these 18 holes – including Walter Hagen, Henry Cotton, Greg Norman and Tom Watson, all of whom have waxed lyrical about the virtues of the course.

Murcar Golf Club

Stepping on to Murcar’s first tee, and looking down towards the humps and bumps of its famous neighbour, Royal Aberdeen, you might wonder what all the fuss is – it’s a birdie opportunity if ever there was one!

Cruden Bay Golf Club

Keen players from every part of the globe make their way here to sample for themselves one of Scotland’s most uniquely designed links courses.

Newburgh on Ythan Golf Club

Newburgh on Ythan Links is a championship course of 6423 yards: par 72: CSS 72. It was established in 1888. The outward nine is characterised by natural hills and undulations, requiring a range of adroit shot-making to meet the challenge of traditional gorse-lined seaside courses.

This course is located just two miles from the newly-constructed magnificent Trump International Golf Links at Balmedie.
