Courses
Scotland - Aberdeen & Northeast Scotland
Cruden Bay
Par 70, 6395 yards
Cruden Bay is located about 25 miles north of Aberdeen along the northeast Scottish coast. The current layout dates back to 1899, when Old Tom Morris of St. Andrews was commissioned by the Great North of Scotland Railway to build a new course. The resulting links remains one of the Scotland's most exciting designs with dramatic dunes, unrivaled scenery and a slew of tough holes. It's always ranked among the U.K's best and currently ranks #76 in the world by Golf Magazine (2003 rankings). Awesome, awesome golf!

Murcar
Par 71, 6287 Yards
One of Scotland's unheralded, yet most spectacular links courses, Murcar is located just outside of Aberdeen, next to the links at Royal Aberdeen. The front nine (from 3 through 9) is outstanding and the entire back nine offers another great stretch of holes. The original design by Archie Simpson dates back to 1909 and James Braid was brought in some years later for a few refinements. Peter Alliss was right on the money when he described Murcar as, "a hidden gem." If you love links golf, visit Murcar on your next trip to Scotland.

Royal Aberdeen
Par 71, 6850 yards
Royal Aberdeen, also known as Balgownie Golf Club, is considered one of the oldest clubs in the world with records dating back to 1589. At 6,850 yards from the championship tees, this par-70 links can be very demanding when the wind blows off the North Sea. The course features a variety of excellent holes including two great par fives. The eighth hole is particularly daunting with 10 bunkers protecting the green.
Please note: Royal Aberdeen has handicap restrictions of 24 or lower for both men and women.
