Royal Aberdeen Golf Club
Official Royal Aberdeen website link For many, Royal
Aberdeen's Balgownie course is regarded as golf in its
purest form. It is certainly recognised as one of the
finest natural links courses in the country and through
the years top professionals have made their pilgrimage
here, Hagen, Cotton, Norman and most recently Tom Watson,
all extolling the course's virtues.
Cruden Bay Golf Club
Official Cruden Bay website link Keen players from every
part of the globe make their way here to sample for
themselves, one of Scotland's most unique layouts.
Murcar
Golf Club
Official Murcar website link Stepping on to Murcar's
1st tee and looking down towards the humps and bumps
of its neighbour, Royal Aberdeen, you might wonder what
all the fuss is - it's a birdie opportunity if ever
there was one.
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.
