Andrews Golf Tours Proudly Present - Royal Aberdeen.
Royal Aberdeen can be incorporated into
your Scotland Golf Vacation.
Royal Aberdeen Golf Course also known as
Balgownie links was designed by Archie Simpson and James
Braid. The course runs essentially out and back along
the North Sea Shore, the outward nine through some
wonderful dune formations and the inland nine meanders
along a plateau towards the stunning hill perched
Clubhouse.
An excellent balance of holes, strong par 4's, tricky
par 3's - with the 8th surrounded by 10 bunkers, being
the signature hole; and tow classic par 5's. The ever
changing wind, small screens and a very challenging
finish makes Balconies a test for every level of golfer.
A large number of
visiting golfers head
south from Carnoustie or otherwise go inland and up to
Dornoch but absolutely no one should miss this course,
as it is the genuine Scottish Links article.
Bernard Darwin once wrote: 'It represented a huge gap
in my golfing education not to have played Balconies
until now. Much more than a good golf course - A Noble
Links'.
