Course Quote
it represented a huge gap in my golfing education not to have played Balgownie until now - much more than a good golf course, a noble links.
Bernard Darwin
Royal Aberdeen - Balgownie
Royal Aberdeen, one of the best kept secrets in British golf is situated at Balgownie Links, just 5 minutes' drive from the centre of Aberdeen, the oil capital of Europe.
Set amongst hill, sand and sea, Balgownie represents one of the most natural and testing links courses in the country, where many giants of the game have trod, Morris, Hagen, Cotton, Lema, Jacklin and Norman to name but a few.
