Aboyne Golf Club, an Archie Simpson and Martin Hawtree inspired course, is the oldest on Royal Deeside and is renowned as one of the most beautiful golfing venues in NE Scotland.

Widely regarded as one of the best maintained, varied and challenging inland courses in the region, we have a growing reputation hosting various tournaments for our governing body "Scottish Golf" as well as seeing increased international golfing visitor.

Aboyne offers golfers of all abilities a unique and memorable challenge with contrasting front and back nine. The course makes the most of the natural variations in the terrain which is a mix of rolling parkland with inviting fairways and elevated links-like heathland with tighter targets. Mature trees and water are in play on many holes.

Aboyne Loch is a notable feature lending character and scenic beauty as well as providing a hazard to be avoided on the last hole of the relatively flat outward parkland nine. Thereafter, the course changes character to rugged heathland and climbs gently providing magnificent panoramic views over the Aberdeenshire countryside.

Golfers are tested by the course's distinctive feature which see several holes with undulating fairways formed around the historic 'rigg and furrows' of medieval farming which add a unique terrain challenge. Lying on free-draining soil, the course enjoys a surprisingly dry micro-climate.

Set in the heart of Royal Deeside, Aboyne sits on the eastern edge of the historic Cairngorms National Park popular with tourists with the adjoining ‘Queen Victoria’ trail leading to the royal residence at Balmoral. The area also attracts visitors as part of the Grampian ‘Castles and Whisky Trail’.

We are one hour from Aberdeen Airport with connecting flights to most UK cities and the European hubs of Amsterdam and Paris. We are well served to various Scandinavian countries. Come and play our majestic course.
