Offering inspiring views of Aberdeen and Aberdeen Airport, Auchmill Golf Club is a municipal golf course with a world-class pedigree. Originally built in the early 1970s as a nine-hole course and later extended to a full 18, Auchmill was designed by the triumvirate of Brian Hugget, Neil Coles and Roger Dyer, meaning the course was laid out with the experience of a top golf course architect (Dyer), a former Ryder Club player (Coles) and a known British pro (Hugget).

Auchmill was designed to take advantage of its unique topography, meaning golfers will be challenged by a variety of lies andinteresting hole placements. Four par 5s will have long hitters reaching for their big guns, while tricky par 3s and challenging par 4s will have golfers of all levels working to put down a good score.

This wooded parkland course that plays to nearly 6,000 yards will not just give you interesting holes that are aptly and cunningly named - like "The Frog" and "The Quarry" - but it will also give players a great golfing experience for their money. With green fees ranging from £15 to £20, Auchmill Golf Club offers golfers a great golfing experience without denting their wallet.

Good but has non golfing issues which is killing the course.

Talked to a member during round,and he explained the issues course has with dog walkers allowing their dogs in course bunkers which makes maintaining bunkers impossible.

He said also has issues with yobs on bikes average 6 times every year destroying greens.

I did see signs of that on the 13th green. Explained course only has 1 greenkeeper which shocked me ,but congrats he has done amazing work.

Such a shame if member i talked to leaves as he said has given a lot of free time to help, but feeling he may go elsewhere so he can play more. Shame as course is outstanding for febuary but i can understand frustrations.

One and only

One and only title is because I was the only one there apart from the very nice guy in the kiosk. 1028am tee time turned into 10am as there was no one in front and there was very little to none warm up area. Small putting green with no pins. So I didn’t bother. Being October the course in my opinion is in great condition. The ground under foot was very wet in places but that was down to some wet weather lately I think. Greens were in great condition to. Amenities well nothing I didn’t use or see any. But defo go back in drier conditions

Have played Auchmill 3 times now. Challenging yet good course. Greens are very fast and the rough is really rough!

Some bunkers are in questionable condition with weeds etc growing in them.

Overall a good course to play and will continue playing auchmill when I have the chance.

Great Value

Good test for all golfers. Nice variation of holes, length, slopes etc. Overall condition good and green's good. You can tell course run on tight budget as some areas a bit scruffy, bunkers, paths etc. Definitely worth playing and great value

Beautiful course let down by terrible maintenance

This is a beautiful course with an enjoyable selection of holes with well maintained fairways. However this is overshadowed somewhat when every ball that lands slightly off the fairway is instantly lost in massive rows of grass cuttings, just left along the entire length of a fairway from the tee box to the green, this makes and enjoyable yet challenging round of golf quickly become frustrating. As any slightly stray shots equal a lost ball 3ft off the fairway. The bunkers are still in terrible condition as mentioned in older reviews. and numerous feature bunkers are completely overgrown with weeds and unplayable. I’ve heard funding is an issue with this course and it shows, but despite this a clear effort has been made to maintain most of the course. For £15 per person this course is great value. Just abit of refreshing needed in the bunkers and the cuttings cleaned up along the fairways.

Poor Bunkers

Course was in reasonable condition although the rough is very long & the fairway bunkers are totally overgrown. Some greens showing signs of vandalism.

Cheapest Course in Area

Greens were in really good condition and the course was actually in general a good condition. Having not played before maybe bigger or more signage to direct to next tee as was difficult to find which tee to go too on a few holes. I liked the fact the rough was a punishment if you ended up in it but was hard to find your ball as it sunk in a little bit. Not so much a criticism just sometimes if you were a few yards off second cut the ball disappeared and was hard to find. I would play again though for the price.

Greens are unplayable

Nice course. Sadly the greens are an absolute sandy, stone covered mess at the moment (September 23). Hopefully that issue will be sorted for next season. Otherwise good value and nice place to play

Awful condition

They should have paid us to play there. Shocking condition for a golf course. Fairway didn’t even exist, greens in shocking condition and grass cuttings all over the course. Played here few years ago and course was good but now it’s just awful. I will never play here again even if it was for free.

Fairways were like a first cut of rough, greens in poor condition, bunkers had weeds growing out them. Use to enjoy this course but it’s terrible now

Course is in alright condition just needs a bit more love and some investment and will be very good. Value for money is excellent (it’s cheap but you’re not playing a well maintained course). Course layout is actually decent, and gives golfers the challenge of some tricky blind tee sheets and also some lovely driving holes and short par 3’s.
