Aberdeen & The North East is one of Scotland’s most authentic golf regions, renowned for classic links courses, pure links golf and some of the country’s most historic layouts. Along the North Sea coastline north of Aberdeen, courses are shaped by wind, sand and natural terrain – golf in its original form.

Here, the game is played on firm, sandy fairways with fast greens, natural contours and a strong coastal character. Courses such as Royal Aberdeen (Balgownie Links) are widely regarded among the world’s finest links courses, while the region also offers several traditional and lesser-known gems of outstanding quality.

Aberdeen – known as the Granite City – serves as an excellent base for golfers. The city features a compact and vibrant centre with restaurants, pubs, whisky bars and cultural attractions, creating a balanced combination of golf and city life.

This region is ideal for golfers seeking a pure Scottish golf experience, focused on history, challenging courses and true links character – without resort-style developments or unnecessary distractions.
