Newburgh on -Ythan-links
The course is under new ownership and green staff.
Playing like a true championship links, would highly recommend a round. Greens are amazing!
Abbiamo giocato sul percorso a 9 buche, piccolo ma interessante come disegno ma i fairway da rivedere, tenuti male, i green abbastanza buoni. Probabilmente il loro percorso championship sarà stato di livello superiore, ma quando abbiamo prenotato si Golf Now, l’unico percorso disponibile era il Sathabie e no sapevamo fosse un 9 buche
Good course, poor greens.
Friendly welcome in the pro shop, I was booked to go off later and was allowed to go out earlier, it's almost 2 completely different 9 holes, 1st 9 hilly, up and down, 2nd 9 flatter with some blind tee shots aiming at poles, which makes it interesting the 1st you play them, this was my first visit.
Good laid out course, the only problem were the greens, they were very poor, I'd rate them 4 out of 10 , which is a shame as its the only thing that let's the course down.
Too many Forvie estuary walkers strolling down the fairways.
This was the first time in almost twenty years I had played this course. It is a decent challenge although winter greens are in play.
What has put us off from going back is the amount of strollers who take great delight in dawdling down the eighth, ninth and eleventh fairways with absolutely no regard to folk playing golf. The couple in front of us and ourselves had issues with strollers who were taking videos of us shouting Fore and asking them to get out of the way. I would suggest the club committee take note and monitor the situation as I believe the club has had financial issues recently and strollers may be part of the reason folk aren’t playing the course.
Cracking Little Course.
I much preferred the front 9 as the back 9 is still struggling from the bad weather of late. Very enjoyable round with some challenging holes. Greens were superb.
Great value. Great views
First time playing here and a solo round. I found it quite tough. It’s not a long course and the weather was about perfect. But there are quite a few blind shots from the fairway. There are some markers on most holes but if you’re on the wrong side of the fairway then you can’t see them and have no idea where you’re going. A couple times I thought I was laying up and dropped it short in the trouble. Read many concerns about the green conditions. I thought they were excellent. Tee boxes were good as were fairways. Bunkers were hard. If you want to play a links style course, with some nice views and don’t want to burst the bank, give this a go.
Breathtaking Views - Literally!
Newburgh is a course NOT to be missed! From the beautiful seaside views from the hills of the front 9, to the challenging river-side links on the back 9, every hole here is both fun and memorable. Add the effects of the North Sea wind, and many holes play longer and shorter than their marked yardage! There aren't many courses like Newburgh.
Return visit
Superb return visit.
Greens had recently had “maintenance” so with the holes all over them, were a bit “bobbly”.
Everything else excellent
Poor condition
Course was in poor condition- greens had been punched - not mentioned on advert - should have neem a much cheaper rate.
Had food in clubhouse restaurant- very poor.
Back nine plays much better than front.
Pro shop was closed… on a Saturday….
Great course. Worth a quick drive N from Aberdeen
Great course made of 2 different nines. One is hilly and the other a true old coastal links by the sea. Buggies and hand carts available for those golfers who fly into Scotland. Quiet on the course so lots of choice in tee times. Course in great condition - fast and dry in summer when we played. Bar/Restaurant not open when we played. Not a bad drive north out of Aberdeen.
Nice links course
Really enjoyed the challenge of this course, having not played many links courses I found this one great value and a fair test of golf , beautiful views and the club house is spectacular, will definitely be back
February chap
Course in very good condition for time of year. Green keepers busy in all areas of course. Shaping up nicely for season starting
Golf day out
I tried this course out as I got a good deal on golf now , I found the course to be a fair challenge and enjoyed my round , found the course in great condition and the views was spectacular, I feel the greens could be a bit better but they wasn’t bad , I preferred the front 9 probably due to the history of it , the back nine was ok but more straight forward, the club house is spectacular with fantastic views over the course , I would definitely recommend and will be back one day
