Golf Clubs in Aberdeen

Nowadays more than 70 golf courses dot the coastal country from Dundee to Aberdeen. With a mix of parkland courses and some of the British Isles' most highly rated links; the region is a top-flight golf destination.

Golf may have gotten its start in St. Andrews, but it didn't take long to start marching up the North Sea shoreline. Royal Aberdeen Golf Club was founded in 1780, 16 years after the Old Course. Royal Aberdeen also hosted the Scottish Open in 2014, won by Justin Rose. 

The club has a second course, and there are public golf courses at Auchmill, Balnagask, Hazlehead and King's Links. The 1999 winner of The Open Championship, Paul Lawrie, hails from the city.

There are new courses planned for the area, including world class facilities with major financial backing, the city and shire are set to become a hotbed for golf tourism. 

Each year, thousands of golfers take golf breaks in Aberdeen. And it isn’t difficult to understand why: three championship golf courses wait to test your game - the Royal Aberdeen, Murcar and Cruden Bay. A further 50 or so courses beckon within easy reach of Aberdeen. Highly recommended are Newmachar, Ballater, Braemar, Lossiemouth, Huntly and Royal Tarlair.
