Royal Aberdeen Golf Club
Balgownie Links
Royal Aberdeen Golf Club is regarded as one of the oldest golf clubs in the world and ranks among Scotland’s most respected links courses. Balgownie Links combines classic links design with a clear championship character, offering a golfing experience where precision, strategy and experience are rewarded.
The course weaves through natural dunes along the North Sea, featuring narrow fairways, deep pot bunkers and greens that demand precise approach play and strong distance control. The wind is a constant presence and ensures that no two rounds feel the same, while the natural contours and terrain create a pure links setting.
Royal Aberdeen is fair yet demanding, equally suited to accomplished amateurs and experienced links players. This is authentic Scottish championship golf, rooted in tradition and history, and one of the most authoritative links experiences in north-east Scotland.
