Golf courses in Aberdeen City

Aberdeen City sits at the heart of one of Scotland's most storied golfing regions. The area is renowned for its traditional links courses, where the North Sea winds add challenge and character to every round. Royal Aberdeen Golf Club, founded in 1780, is one of the oldest golf clubs in the world and has hosted numerous prestigious events including The Scottish Open.

The coastal terrain offers classic links conditions - firm, fast fairways, deep pot bunkers, and rolling dunes that have defined Scottish golf for centuries. Murcar Links, neighbouring Royal Aberdeen, provides another championship-calibre test along this spectacular stretch of coastline.

Summer months from May to September offer the best playing conditions, with long daylight hours allowing for rounds well into the evening. The spring and autumn can bring dramatic weather that true links enthusiasts relish.
