Info golf trip in Aberdeenshire

[stevek1969]

Thank you, I completely forgot about Scotscraig, are you a member there? I saw some pics, is it like an inland links?

Yes i am a member there, a links / heathland type course :thup:

I have played Downfield many times and personally I don't like it that much. There are some quirky holes and it was always poorly drained but as Steve suggests that might not be a problem anymore. I would however prefer Edzell and Montrose over Downfield given the choice.

 

[SammmeBee]

I would pass on the Trump course since I would like to play courses with more history before and I find it too expensive, maybe another time! Thanks!

You can't! It's so good!!!!

Edzell or Montrose are worth a try. I wouldn't recommend Downfield.

Wot he said ^

Wot he said ^

Would second that ,only thing that stops me playing Montrose more is i see enough of the place as i work there ,i can see the course from the factory

You can't! It's so good!!!!

Not 215£ good for me the highest I paid for golf was at Royal Birkdale, and it was cheaper than that

Hawkshill at Newmachar is a cracking course. Lots of trees so need to be straight off the tee.

Blairgowrie (Rosemount is the one I played) is a stunning golf course and different to the others you will be playing.

You won't go wrong with Monifieth (i'm a member), Panmure, Scotscraig or any of the courses in St Andrews (the ones in the actual town) or Carnoustie (The Burnside is a smashing course) - Blairgowrie Rosemount is my favourite inland course in Scotland so you wouldn't be disappointed with there either - Downfield is nice but has a couple of daft holes to my mind

 

[richart]

Rosemount Blairgowrie for me too. Stunning heathland course. Ladybank is nice but not as good. Shame you can not get on the New Course. That is lovely, but not as tough as the Jubilee.

Thank you for all the suggestion guys! Will inform you of the final itinerary

Big shout for this course, have played many courses in Aberdeenshire and this one is worth ticking off, American style course, quite a challenge and very few weak holes.

Managed to dig out some photos I had from Fraserburgh from a few years ago, also have some from Silloth, Cruden Bay, Royal Dornoch and Tain

if you're in the that neck of the woods it would be criminal not to play the Rosemount. not far from Dundee so you could play it on the way home. actually in Aberdeen is newmacher. a fantastic golf course

it takes alot to impress me. impressed i was when i played Rosemount

 

[CliveW]

The A93 Aberdeen to Perth road passes Rosemount. A far more scenic route than the A90.

 

[bluetoon]

It would be a crime not to play Peterhead if your in the area, we got a new head greenkeeper a few years ago and he has transformed the course, it is getting a lot of praise from members and visitors.

You won't be disappointed. :thup:

 

[Landlocked]

Fraserburgh, as already mentioned, is a lovely course which is really good value for money. Friendly members and deserving of more overseas visitors.

Would be nice if more tourists gave Trump Aberdeen a swerve and played there.
