Newburgh-on-Ythan Golf Club

On a cold windy day Newburgh we played on a wet under foot conditions winter tees generally in front of the normal tee, but played normal greens.

Fairways - played with mats plus first cut.

Greens - very mossy

Staff - excellent

Great links course

If your looking for a challenge this is it

Looking back, it was probably good that we experienced such wild weather at Newburgh-on-Ythan. We saw rain and hail, and without that punishment, we wouldn't have been treated to such a kaleidoscope of colors from so many rainbows. The links was already looking fantastic with the gorse in full golden bloom. The modern front nine, built in the 1990s on high ground above the river estuary, starts off fairly widen open before gorse intrudes on several narrow par 4s and the par-5 ninth hole. The original back nine delivers the more classical links touches on flatter land, the blind shots and bumpy fairways. The holes - like the short par-4 15th and par-3 16th - get really good when the links cozies up to the river. Pound for pound, every golfer gets their money's worth at Newburgh-on-Ythan, If you don't have the bank account to play at Trump International Golf Links four miles south, this is a great alternative.

Got a day ticket for Newburgh on a day that Cruden Bay was hosting an amateur. All things considered, it was a welcome detour. Is Newburgh up there with Cruden Bay, Royal Aberdeen or Trump? Probably not. Is it a fun links experience-definitely.

The course has two distinct nines. The front nine is newer, has hilly terrain and multiple tiered greens. There is only one blind shot, but all in all it is still a lot of fun. A good mix of short and long.

The back nine is older and has many blind shots and punch bowl greens. If you are off your game, it is the more difficult of the two. Still, a lot of fun.

I met locals on both rounds and they were a pleasure to get in a game with. Both rounds were completed in about 3 hours each. I can also say that a day ticket was about $85. A great value.
If you are in the area and need a good warm up before moving on to the bigger names, then this is a great place. If you are looking for something different and want to experience Scotland, then a round with the locals and time at the 19th hole will be genuine.

Played in a three ball on Saturday the 9th. The track isn't the longest, but lots of blind tee shots and strong winds made up for it. The greens were in excellent condition and a good test.

Two nice laps of 9 with lovely views of Newburgh and well worth a trip. I think Murcar/RA/CB/Trump are far more testing, but this is a great tune up course if you are planning on playing any of those in the near future.

Staff were also friendly and facilities modern and excellent.

Very nice course with mixed traditional links and modern layout holes

Parcours assez difficile, en particulier les 9 derniers trous car beaucoup de trous aveugles.
Excellent accueil du golf master.
