| Description: |
A very warm welcome awaits the Golfing Visitor to Aboyne Golf Club.
As early as 1881 golf was played over nine holes on the village green. In 1905 Mr E Cecil, the then owner of Aboyne Castle Estate, agreed to lease land on the existing site for the provision of a golf course "for the people of Aboyne". Since then the course has been altered and lengthened on several occasions, the present 18 holes being opened for play in August 1991.
Par for Gentlemen is 68, and for Ladies 72.
Set amidst the scenic splendour of Royal Deeside, Aboyne Golf Club can fairly claim to have the finest vistas and panoramas of any course in Scotland.
"A course of two halves" best describes the layout. The front nine is gently undulating parkland with generous tree lined fairways. The back nine is heathland and presents the golfer with a slightly more "muscular" challenge!
Wildlife abounds round the course. Keep a look out for stoat, weasel, pheasant, coot and buzzard .... all fairly regularly seen. Be lucky and you may just see an osprey fishing in the loch to the right of the 9th hole.
