Situated 12 miles North
of Aberdeen City Centre, just off the main A947
to Banff, lies one of Scotland's Premier golfing
facilities.
Newmachar golf Club has two
18 hole layouts, both designed by Dave Thomas: Hawkshill
opened in 1990 (6700 yds, Par 72, SSS 74) and
Swailend opened in 1996 (6388 yds, Par 72 SSS
71). A floodlit Driving Range
and Practice Area complete the on course
facilities and is the ideal place to hone your
skills, or take a lesson from one of our PGA
Professionals. Off course is a spacious, modern
Clubhouse, with commanding views over Hawkshill,
it is fully licensed and provides a full
catering service seven days a week.
The birth of Cruden Bay
apparently took place during a meeting in the
North of Scotland Bank, the precise date of the
meeting was 16 June 1898 and in March the
following year the Cruden Bay Hotel and Golf
Course were opened.
The Hotel and the 18 hole
golf course were originally both owned by the
Great North of Scotland Railway Company. Within a
month of their opening the company staged a
professional tournament which attracted many of
the day's leading players including Harry Vardon,
James Braid and Ben Sayers. The event proved an
outstanding success with Vardon taking the first
prize of £30. Cruden Bay was firmly on the golfing
map. Cruden Bay is situated on Scotland's Buchan
Coast, some 23 miles north east of Aberdeen and
seven miles south of Peterhead. The Golf Course
has a dramatic setting with nearby Slains Castle
providing a rather eerie backdrop. Originally laid
out by Thomas Simpson, Cruden Bay is very much a
traditional Scottish links course. In addition to
the 6287 yard 18 hole championship course, there
is also a well-kept 2463 yard 9 hole St. Olaf
course, opened in 1968.
