Aboyne Golf
Course was in excellent condition. Greens were the best we've found, having played various courses between London & Aboyne
Excellent Experience
Played on a sunny Saturday expecting most courses in the area to be mobbed. Aboyne was definitely on the quieter side and this made the experience a lot more enjoyable.
Putting green and nets were well kept and the course layout was interesting with very well kept greens. Would definitely play again with excellent value for money and views into the surrounding hills.
Hidden gem
Course was in really good condition, and greens were superb! Will definitely come back and play again
Great course and amenities
What a lovely course and in great condition. The clubhouse was a great place to sit after the golf and take in the views, the food was also lovely. There was 4 of us and all loved the food. When leaving, the golfers all said we would love to play this course again.
Aboyne is always a great place to play & well worth a visit. Beautiful scenery with 2 distinct 9s presenting different challenges. We have been coming back for a number of years, this has long been 1 of our favourites.
Brilliant Course
Played this course for first time.
Excellent condition. Great layout.
Staff were very friendly.
Would recommend this course.
Friendly and good challenge
First time playing and really enjoyed this course. I went round with a couple of members who asked me to join along as I was a single and glad I did as were very friendly and with a few holes having a couple of blind spots they were very helpful on my way round the course. Conditions of the course were excellent and well maintained. Clubhouse has good views and welcoming. Plenty of tee times and pace of play was very good. I would definitely play again and the par 3’s are very challenging holes. Highly recommended
Superb!
Wonderful golf course. Excellent greens. Fastest I’ve played on for some time. Staff were excellent. Food was excellent. Just an all round brilliant place.
First time at Aboyne.
Finally managed to get a round in at Aboyne whilst on holiday. We played in near perfect conditions, dry , sunny with a little bit of wind. Still playing off winter mats unfortunately, but totally agree with. Struggling with the pace of parkland greens as we're used to links courses, however they were in superb condition. Well done to the greenkeepers and the staff for the condition of the course. Also to the staff who made us very welcome. Thanks and looking forward to returning to Aboyne.
Beautiful Course!!
Wow! What a course! The greens were immaculate and beautifully kept.
We will definitely be back. My husband said it was his favourite course for a long time.
This course although par 68 is challenging
Great condition with good greens.
A really good holiday course with plenty of challenging holes particularly on the back 9
A friendly and welcoming golf club
Wonderful course
The first 9 holes or so are fantastic, course was the best condition I’ve seen anywhere, greens were immaculate. The back 9 or so seem a bit like a different course and the holes are more interesting. Again course conditions were great, it just gave some real variety to the round. Surrounded by the mountains, the surrounding scenery is a picture. We were even joined by a lizard on the 6th greeen ! Will be going again
Course of two half’s parkland to big in with then highland/moorland to finish. Great condition and lovely welcome in clubhouse.
Stunning course
Lovely course always in excellent condition and the back nine throws up a few challenges and club is nice with friendly staff
Tuesday Golf
Damp start to the day, weather wasn't great, few showers but course was tip top all the way round. Greens werent slow in the wet weather, would be a good challenge on a dry day.
Fantastic Course
Fantastic course to play. Quite difficult if you are not straight off the tee. Greens, fairways etc all in fantastic condition and greens were rolling amazingly well and fast for an inland course. Highly recommend to any level of golfer to play here
