Cruden Bay Golf Club occupies a spectacular stretch of linksland on the rugged Aberdeenshire coast. Towering dunes frame the fairways, while elevated tees reveal sweeping views across the North Sea, the fishing village of Port Erroll and the ruins of Slains Castle in the distance.

The course is celebrated for its unconventional routing, with blind drives, hidden greens, deep hollows and dramatic changes in elevation creating a wonderfully adventurous round. Golfers must trust the landscape, shape shots through narrow dune corridors and adapt quickly to the coastal wind. Bold, eccentric and full of natural character, Cruden Bay captures the spirit of traditional Scottish links golf.
