Peterhead Golf Club, one of Scotland's oldest clubs, offers two courses, the Old Course and the New Course. The Old Course was built as a nine-hole course in 1892 and extended to an 18-hole course in 1908. The golf course provides an excellent example of classic Scottish links golf. The course snakes along the east coast of Scotland, across valleys bordered y ancient sand dunes and covered with wild grasses. Gusty winds are a challenging factor on the course due to its seaside location. The Old Course at Petershead Golf Club is a formidable links course, but the layout is still accessible to both low and high handicappers.

Peterhead oldest course in world

Bit of a walk to the club but very welcoming when you arrive. The course starts a little bit straight forward after the first . After hole 6 you're into the dunes and the course really becomes a gem. The vies along the coast are excellent and the couse is a test. Brilliant course will definitely try and get back. Thoroughly recommend this,must play course.

Excellent classic links course

Booking through GolfNow, at £25 this course will be hard to beat on value. The condition for October was very impressive, conditions you’ll simply not find on parkland courses at this time of year. The fairways were running faster than some greens I’ve played on recently, that’s saying something! So impressed, a hidden gem. Already planing a return visit for next year. A must play if you’re visiting Aberdeen or the surrounding areas. It will not disappoint, even on a rainy Sunday!

Round at Peterhead

We played Peterhead golf course several times when on holiday in Aberdeenshire last week and found it to be a lovely, underrated course, receiving a friendly welcome from both staff and members alike. I'd recommend Peterhead to anyone who is in the area.

One bridge too far

A very enjoyable day..The first time we had played a course where we had to park one side of a river and take our clubs and shoes accross a bridge. Very friendly welcome from the Secretary and staff. Dont judge the course on the first 3 holes. Once we played away from the club house on hole 4 the course came into its own. Not long but a good test of golf and some very good holes. Great views of the coast and sea. Hopefully we will get back before too long for another round. Great value.
