The Golf Course creates unique challenges demanding the skills of power, placement and fine judgment upon the discerning golfer. Set against a backdrop of subtly contoured greens and magnificent panoramic views, the course truly justifies its position as 54th Best Course in the World in the 2013 US publication Links Magazine, 70th in the World in the 2013-14 Golf Digest Top 100, and the 2nd Top Fun Course in Great Britain & Ireland in the Golf World Magazine. There are more awards and accolades including the Scottish Golf Tourism Award for Top Course in Scotland and many others. We could go on, but you are better off just playing a round or two to experience it for yourself.
Cruden Bay is situated on the east coast of Scotland 23 miles north of Aberdeen and only two hours drive from St Andrews, the “Home of Golf”. Cruden Bay offers an internationally famous golfing experience with old-fashioned links golf at its best – on one of the best links courses in Scotland.
Situated just 10 minutes from Aberdeen city centre, Murcar Links is an attractive 18 hole course situated on the coast of Aberdeenshire with superb views across the North Sea.

Murcar Links has risen to No 35 in the Golf World Magazine ranking of the Top 100 Courses in Scotland. The judging panel highlighted ‘some great holes, scenically and strategically’, while overall Golf World verdict was ‘enjoyable whether in the dune valleys or near the sea’. The course is located on a classic stretch of links land with massive sand dunes, undulating fairways, and is covered in whins and heather with some magnificent views across the North Sea. Playing Murcar Links is a truly memorable and rewarding experience where each hole offers its own challenge.

Panmure is one of the oldest golf clubs in the world dating back to 1845. It is situated between the Courses of Monifieth and Carnoustie on the east coast of Scotland. Influenced by James Braid, this golf course is approximately 8 miles from Dundee 20 miles from St Andrews and within an easy travelling distance of Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Glasgow.
The Golf Course combines the best elements of links and heath, with tight fairways, challenging carries and compact, undulating greens. Old Scots pines and sandhills forged by nature give the terrain an enduring quality in keeping with the Club’s long history. Hallmarks such as the ‘Hogan’ hole (the sixth) and the Buddon Burn (the twelfth) conspire to give you a round of golf to remember and the old clubhouse, as a backdrop to the last three holes, beckons you home.
The Clubhouse is one of the finest old golf buildings in Scotland. Its unique and delightful lounges are full of character. Devotees of the history of golf will be interested to know of the origins, borne of the close trading relationship between Dundee and Calcutta in the halcyon days of the Jute Industry with the clubhouse being modelled on that of Royal Calcutta GC. Friendly staff afford a real Scottish welcome and good food and wine will complete your day here.
Enjoy a golfing day out at Monifieth Golf Links – just 30 minutes travelling time from St. Andrews, 20 minutes from Dundee Airport and within 2 hours of Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Aberdeen Airports.
