Cruden Bay (Aberdeenshire)

In 1899 Tom Morris and Archie Simpson laid out the course for the Great North of Scotland Railway (GNSR). In 1926, Tom Simpson and Herbert Fowler redeveloped the layout leaving many of the original greensites and routing intact. Little has changed since. Cruden Bay is an inspirational golf course, regarded by some as quirky and considered by others as a masterpiece. It winds its way in a figure of eight through towering dunes. Many of the holes are secluded from each other by the sand hills enabling that wonderful feeling of intimacy. There are panoramic sea views, a stunning beach, drivable par fours, blind drives and back-to-back par threes. What’s not to like? Enjoy!
