Unbelievable value for money.
This course, for £25 (for 18 holes!) is incredible. It’s a tough little course, small greens and tight fairways but my gosh was it in fantastic condition. The first hole looks a bit rough round the edges but the rest of it is fantastic. Beautiful surroundings. The layout of having slightly different tee boxes depending if you’re playing it as a front 9 or back 9 is a great idea too. Great pitching and putting area. The main course also looked amazing and will be saving up for a round there soon! But honestly one of the best courses I’ve played and for the money it’s just brilliant. 11/10
We played on their second course , not the championship, probably this was the resoan that the course wasn’t in very good comditions…
Just great value and a great course
Cracking 8 hole course in excellent condition. Very friendly pro and members
A super 9 hole course
Played the 9 hole course as didn't have time to play a full 18.
Course and greens were in excellent condition. Very friendly staff and Murcar has first class practice facilities. If you're looking to grab a quick 9 holes then this is a gem.

This was an away day for my wife and I. She is new to the game this year but has had a dozen lessons through a ladies set-up called Love golf which is for women looking to learn the game.
The staff were welcoming, and the facilities very good. There is a well stocked golf shop just in case you have forgot to take anything with you.
The course is a tricky little thing with water hazards on half a dozen of the holes and placement of the shots being important. The course was quite dry on the fairways but the greens were in good condition.
For first timers playing the course it took a wee bit of navigation and a few look’s of the map on the card to find our way round.
The other golfers playing seemed to be a very nice, friendly bunch unlike some speed merchants on municipal courses.
Will we play this course again? The answer has to be aye as next time we shall know the lay of the land and where the burn is.
Try it and enjoy it.
Murcar Links 9 hole course
Very friendly and welcoming staff on arrival. Nice little course and would definitely recommend it to others.
Very friendly cows next to the tees too.
Nice course
My rating would be higher but I was disapointed that winter greens were in play especially as normal greens were in play apart from 1 hole the week before, it did not appear to be frosty either. This is disappointing as it takes away the enjoyment of playing a good course. the normal greens also look to be in good condition
Nice quick links, well maintained.
Had a nice quick round first thing Saturday, still playing off fairways without mats. Green had just cored and top dressed but overall course was in great condition. Hopefully get another round before winter greens.
Good challenge
Very well matained course , where even the tee off areas was as good nick as some greens I’ve seen at other venues,
If you like a challenge and variety this course is for you .
A challenging wee course.
I thought it was a challenging wee course, however not very well signposted, so quite easy to not know where the next hole was. Lots of water shots. I really didn't enjoy it.
Good link course
Is not the championship course. Is a nine holer you play twice for 18 of different tees (red front nine, yellow back nine). Moderate challenging course and a short course, no par 5. Greens can be reached in two easily.
