About

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.
