Great day at Cruden Bay GC, played on”frost course” which was unavoidable due to weather. Still it was a lovely day and the course was fun.Special mention for the catering team: superb service and great lunch - fresh fish from Peterhead. A++++Recommend the “strong” coffee.Always thought the golf course was a wee bit overrated, i have changed my mind. With the ongoing improvements I now think the accolades are merited as it’s only going to get better.Plan to come back in the summertime.

I promised I would write a review to the staff at Cruden Bay Golf Club, even though they not ask for any such review. I played the course in October 2022, having travelled over from Ireland.Two things. The hospitality we received that day was nothing I have ever experienced at a golf course anywhere in the world. I mean anywhere, and I have played a lot of good golf courses. The staff, right from the ladies in the restaurant, to the general manager, club pro and the starter, who gave us a brief history lesson of the club at the start of the round were so friendly and helpful. We even got gifted a cheeky bottle of whiskey to take out on the course with us. The food, both before and after our round was excellent. The hospitality sure did leave a very positive and memorable experience.Secondly, the course. We were lucky on the day with the weather, as it was warm with blue skies. The course is superb, it is a proper good links course and rightly listed in the top 100 in the world by Golf Digest. There is a lovely mix of holes, my favourite was the par 4, 3rd, simply because it was a 2 iron onto the green with a putt for eagle, which I duly missed!! The back 9 is sensational. Some of the views on the way back are unbelievable and you will definitely have your camera out taking a few snaps.If you are into golf and want a truly wonderful day out, then I cannot recommend this golf course any higher. 5 stars!!

The golf course is a challenge but one you'll remember. The view from the 9th tee is as good as it gets. For all of you that want a true Links experience, add Cruden Bay to your list.

A fantastic course to play even in January! Greens were exceptional for this time of year. Matts in use off the fairways the day we played but that was fine. Friendly welcome from the Pro on arrival.

In their Words…….

It is claimed that golf was played in the village of Cruden Bay as early as 1791. The original course, on the present site, was commissioned by the Great North of Scotland Railway (GNSR) following the expansion of the railways at the end of the 19th century, designed by Old Tom Morris of St Andrews, and opened in 1899.

One of the many courses built in the great railways expansion era at the end of the 19th century; Cruden Bay is a magnificent testimony to the quality of links golf in the north of Scotland. Towering sand dunes at the north end of the course dominate the play early in the round.

Beautiful swathes of fairway amid the giant sand dunes, combined with excellent firm greens offer ‘a unique and unforgettable experience’. It is no surprise that Cruden Bay is one of the most highly rated golf courses in the world.

Visitors are made very welcome at Cruden Bay Golf Club seven days a week. We are very proud of our Club and welcome the opportunity to share our golf course and clubhouse facilities with visiting golfers.
