Golf in Aberdeenshire

Fraserburgh Golf Club - founded back in 1777 - is the oldest golf club in Aberdeenshire, the 5th oldest club in Scotland and the 7th oldest in the World. Fraserburgh Golf Club would appear to be the oldest golf club in the world still operating under its original name. Aberdeenshire is known for its high-quality links courses, like Cruden Bay Golf Club, Murcar Links, Fraserburgh Golf Club and Trump International Golf Links. Except for the latter golf club, green fee rates in Aberdeenshire still are quite reasonable. We would definitely recommend Aberdeenshire as a golf destination, but you will need to use appropriate clothing, as it can be cold and windy here. When visiting Aberdeenshire, a good idea would be to visit the Balmoral Castle, which is the Scottish Highland residence of the British royal family. Aberdeenshire is also home to Cairngorms National Park and Aberdeen - although not part of Aberdeenshire - is certainly worth a visit. Aberdeen is well connected globally with its own international airport, railway station, ferry terminal and bus station. As the gateway to the Highlands, and only a 2.5 hours’ drive to Edinburgh or Glasgow, Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire are perfect to start your Scottish journey.
