Royal Aberdeen
Royal Aberdeen Golf Club, located on Scotland’s stunning northeast coast in the city of Aberdeen, is one of the oldest and most respected links golf courses in the world. Founded in 1780, the club’s Balgownie Course is a masterpiece of traditional Scottish links design, celebrated for its natural beauty, challenging layout, and deep golfing heritage.
The front nine at Royal Aberdeen is often regarded as one of the finest in golf, winding through towering sand dunes with sweeping views of the North Sea. Narrow fairways, strategic bunkering, and unpredictable coastal winds demand precision and thoughtful shot-making on every hole. The back nine returns inland across rolling terrain, maintaining the same test of accuracy and creativity that defines classic links golf.
Royal Aberdeen has hosted numerous prestigious events, including the Scottish Open, and continues to be recognized among the best golf courses in Scotland. Its combination of history, natural landscape, and world-class design offers an authentic and unforgettable Scottish links experience. For golfers seeking a true championship test in a breathtaking coastal setting, Royal Aberdeen Golf Club stands proudly among Scotland’s greatest golfing treasures.
