Newburgh-on-Ythan Golf Club

Decent course if it was looked after better.

Majority of tee boxes needed cut as well as some fairways

Good to see a busy course but there was a lot of waiting, sometimes a couple of four balls at a time.

Tee boxes and fairways in poor condition. Standard had dropped significantly in a few months.

Very poorly maintained course. At an outrageous Green fee.

Newburgh links is a stunning location for a golf course. With amazing unspoilt views across the Ythan Estuary and the sea. But what could be a stunning course is very badly mantained. The quality of the greens is atrocious. The worst ive seen in years. The fairways aren't much better. Some having no grass. Or grass not being cut, where there is grass. Bare tee boxes devoid of grass. Bunkers full of grass and moss and their faces badly eroded. Fallen into a state of disrepair. Excessive litter too. With litter bins that haven't been emptied in weeks. Very disappointing. Especially in view of the staggering green fee of £100 for visitors. Probably why I only saw 8 golfers all day on a Saturday in late May. If the club dont improve the course. A green fee of £25 would be more appropriate. Overall very very disappointing.

The course was in immaculate condition for being in winter period, the greens were in incredible condition as was the entire course really! The staff are very friendly and the clubhouse is brilliant as well!

First time playing Newburgh-on-ythan. Quirky course, and two very different 9s. Throughly enjoyable, and in very good condition for this time of year. I’ll be back in summer, to try again.

Was advised the course was on summer greens. On arrival it was obvious the course was on winter greens for no apparent reason. The winter tees were well infront of the normal tees meaning the course overall played about half the total yardage which completely ruined the experience.

Excellent parcours de golf,c'est vrai que les parcours links ont vraiment quelque chose de particulier par rapport aux autres parcours de golf.

J'aime ce parcours de links qui nous change des golfs classiques et traditionnels. Accueil très agréable et pro chop avec énormément de choix

Lovely course with amazing views of the estuary and sea. Challenging holes which are fun to play. Very friendly staff and amazing clubhouse and view for drinks afterwards.

Great welcome from the youngster in the pro shop. Front nine much easier although quite hilly so make a score here as the back is around the estuary is quality old schools links with plenty of blind shots from both tee and for approach - tough especially into the wind - Greens in very good condition .

Solid course with great views of the estuary. Front 9 is newer and greener with back 9 the original course amongst the dunes. Given the recent weather the back 9 was a little boggy in parts but very playable. Greens in good condition. Everyone playing seemed friendly and pace of play was excellent. Will definitely be back.

Front 9 is newer and greener, back 9 is low on the dunes, sandier, and waterlogged in some areas following the recent very wet weather. All playable though and greens in surprisingly good condition. Everyone we met was friendly. Look forward to coming back.

Played on a bright winters day, very bad weather previous 2 days though credit to the greenkeepers as we were able to play on the summer greens. A good challenging course especially the back 9 though suits all levels of

Golfers.

The course is under new ownership and green staff.

Playing like a true championship links, would highly recommend a round. Greens are amazing!

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.

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.
