Banchory Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Less than 20 miles from Aberdeen, Banchory Golf Club has a long history of delivering a great parklands golf option to Scotland. Built in 1905 and originally designed by John Souter, Banchory has the antiquity and location to make it a popular outing both for locals, as well as those who have hooked up a Scotland golf package.
Set above the scenic River Dee, Banchory is a scenic par 69 layout that will challenge golfers of all levels. Because while not particularly long at just over 5,801 yards, strategically placed bunkers, mature trees and the waters of the River Dee provide obstacles that can test low handicappers as well as high.
Including a memorable clubhouse, as well as lessons from the club pro, Banchory Golf Club has stood up to the test of time for more than 100 years, and seems to get better every year.

First class course
We love this course, very easy to negotiate as on the main it’s pretty flat. This time we were stuck behind a slow four so came off after three hours at the 15th but could not fault the course, it was first class

A pleasurable course to play, every one very friendly
Banchory
Nice Course unfortunately only 15 holes playable and because of winter greens some holes shortened in length.
Didn’t play as using fairway mats and some winter greens
Didn’t play as using fairway mats and some winter greens.
This information was not available at time of booking or noted on website!
There was no facility to cancel booking in timescale!
Wasted voucher and cash.
Booked and paid full price to play Edzel only to find out same issues and 4 holes closed
Waste of money on both bookings
Playing if mats and holes closed
We changed course to Edzel after finding initially course was using mats.
We arrived and there were no signs that mats had to be used on fairways! We found out after teeing off and saw others using. We went back and got the mats. Worse was to come when we got to 7/8 hole only to find 4 holes closed.
We were not advised of either issue when checking in!
This wasn’t noted on website at time of booking for ether course. I wasted voucher and money on both courses!
I should be refunded for both bookings!
Banchory a Gem
Nice course only 15 holes allowed to play winter greens . Course in good condition.
Well worth a visit
Played for the second time, the first pre-pandemic. Despite the recent rain the course was in good condition and very playable, Friendly welcome and straight out to play, post round food and drinks just what we needed and service excellent. We will certainly play again when visiting the area again.
Really great greens and nice views
Lovely course played for the first time. Nice greens in fantastic condition. Rough not too thick which was helpful considering the amount of holes with out of bounds sections
We may have been lucky but fantastic pace of play from people ahead of us.
The short uphill par 3 seemed a bit gimmicky but apart from that all the holes seemed to be nicely laid out
Excellent
Great value, tidy fairways and well kept greens.
Some challenging holes but a very fair course for all levels of ability.
A nice welcome at the pro shop and a very friendly clubhouse for visitors.
