Golf dates to 1793 on the site where Kingsbarns Golf Links is found today, overlooking the North Sea 7 miles east of St Andrews. Everything changed in 2000 when Kyle Phillips reinvented links golf with the opening here of the game’s first “modern classic” links layout.
There’s a case, often made, that Royal Dornoch alone is worth a journey to the Scottish Highlands. It is, but treasure hunting links golfers will be pleased to find new loot at Castle Stuart Golf Links.
Located in Aberdeen, Scotland eighty one miles north of St Andrews, Royal Aberdeen Golf Club was founded in 1780 as the Society of Golfers at Aberdeen.
Another hidden gem is Murcar Links Golf Club which is situated in Aberdeen, Scotland. Dating back to 1909, Murcar was originally designed by Archie Simpson and later revised in the 1930’s by James Braid.
