Overview

Discover a historic links experience at the eighth-oldest golf club in the world. The Balgownie Course at Royal Aberdeen is a classic out-and-back layout with arguably the greatest front nine in the world. Its diverse mix of holes along the windswept shores of the North Sea demands distance or accuracy – and sometimes both.
