Golfing in the famous mearns rolling hills

A short 9 holer squeezed into a picturesque nook of north east scotlands mearns countryside, made famous by Lewis Grassic Gibbons novel “a sunset song. What’s not to like!

Auchenblae great for beginner

Great course not too long for a beginner. Good range of distance between holes. Challenging too with the rough and the hills. Lovely views. Play is fast paced.

9 holes

Auchenblae is a nice parkland 9 hole challenge. Some nice par 3s nothing long for a par 4 but nice. Parking and road into course very poor and mure suited to a 4x4 but once parked and unloaded thee is a truck to the first tee. We had to ask a couple as they finished off the 3rd which way to go. Greens have no irrigation system so in not bad condition considering. A nice round and near to a few options for lunch.

Hidden Gem

Great little course been around a long time but unfortunately never made the cut for my 2002 Sunday Telegraph Directory of golf. Run by volunteers Alan who was on duty was very friendly and professional. Allowed me to slot in early and play this lovely golf course. Interesting holes which are memorable and all different. Well kept secret but great value for money. Would suit all standards of golf and great lift for my short game. Friendly members. Played it on my own but enjoyed the course and the views. Greens were not easy . Would recommend for the experience and great value.

Fantastic short course

This course is on the short side distance wise but is really interesting and in fantastic condition.

The fairways and greens were first class.

It is in a beautiful location surrounded by stunning countryside.

Hidden gem

OK it's only a 9 holer, but this course is in immaculate condition, I couldn't believe how well it played. The option to book 18 holes would be nice, but that's a small gripe
