Auchenblae Golf Course

Course Description

Auchenblae Golf Course is a short but demanding nine-hole course hidden away in rural Aberdeenshire.

It is, however, easily accessible from the A90. Boasting picturesque views of the local countryside and beyond, this course is rather pleasing to the eye – that doesn’t mean it can’t throw up a challenge or two.
Small hard-to-hit greens are a famous feature of this course and many find getting on the green in regulation a common problem – even the regulars.

It is an absolute joy to play in the summer months and is one of the more popular nine-holers in the Northeast. The course record of 60, though, will take some beating.

Auchmill Golf Club

Ballater Golf Club

Course Description

The course can best be described as heathland, although farther away from the river there are some distinct parkland characteristics.

There are also a good number of undulations formed by river terraces running along the ancient flood plain and these help make it interesting to play.

Ballater offers its toughest test to par on its opening six holes, which include two difficult par threes. However, with the beautiful scenery, dominated by Lochnagar to the west, and the fresh Highland air, few can fail to enjoy this lovely course.
