Golf Breaks in Aberdeenshire

Why Book a Golf Break in Aberdeenshire

The region of Aberdeen and Cruden Bay is located in the far North-east of Scotland further afield than the perhaps more recognised golfing regions of Scotland, but those who make the journey will be supremely rewarded with some of the most wonderful golfing experiences in Scotland.

It is here you will find classic courses such as Royal Aberdeen dating back hundreds of years, classics such as Cruden Bay designed by Old Tom Morris, or the modern and incredible Trump International Golf Links. Off the course the attractions are just as impressive; beautiful sandy beaches, imposing cliffs and pretty seaside towns can all be found alongside ancient castles, distilleries and so much more.

Golf in & around Aberdeen

With such a rich golfing history of Royal Aberdeen, Murcar Links and Cruden Bay, each spectacular in it's own right it is easy to get swept up in the history of the East Coast links. An area for true links aficionados, Aberdeen promotes the sand dune bump-and-run ethos prevalent in Scottish Golf and must be loved for it.

A little fairer than the West Coast (less blind shots) you will come off smitten with the golf you have played. This is before we delve into the youthful yet awesome Trump International Links in which, and take our word for this, you could take any hole from this masterpiece and it would not look out of sorts alongside any of the other best links golf in the world.
