Aberdeen is a real favourite amongst golfers, with the sandy North Sea coastline providing the perfect terrain for dramatic links courses.
Royal Aberdeen Golf Club was founded in 1780 and is the 6th oldest golf club in the world. Consistently ranked in Scotland's Top 10 and the world's Top 100 courses, this is a traditional out and back links with the front nine running alongside the North Sea in spectacular fashion.
Cruden Bay is further up the coast and an equally impressive layout that follows the ancient waves of sand dunes, with stunning panoramic views across the North Sea.
