Newburgh on Ythan

Newburgh-on-Ythan Golf club is situated on the Aberdeenshire coast less than 15 miles from Aberdeen.

The Golf Club was established in 1888, this 132-year-old Championship Links is host to an extremely unique layout. The 18-hole course is split into two 9’s, the first 9 was designed in 1994 delivering a more modern feel, with tiered greens, surrounded by undulating landscapes. Providing fabulous views of the Ythan Estuary, Forvie Sand Dunes, Newburgh Beach, and the North Sea. It includes some quirky features, like the stone wall situated in the fairway of the 4th Hole “Drovers”. The Golfers Journal Senior Writer Tom Coyne and Author of “A Course Called Scotland” commented that it “made it directly onto my list of the top holes in Scotland” following his visit to the course in 2015 while writing the book.

In contrast the second 9 and the original 9 is the definition of pure Scottish Links. As described in National Club Golfers Top 100 Courses, “Old Fashioned links golf at its finest”. Combining the history, course personality, and the unrivalled friendliness of its members this course is a hidden gem you cannot pass up.
