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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
