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 6395 yard 18 hole championship
course, there is also a well-kept 4926 yard 9
hole St Olaf course, opened in 1968.
