Cruden Bay

Nestled along Scotland's rugged Aberdeenshire coast, Cruden Bay Golf Club is one of the country’s most iconic and picturesque golf courses. Founded in 1899, this links course offers a perfect blend of traditional Scottish golf, stunning coastal scenery, and a challenging layout that captivates golfers from all over the world.

Originally designed by Old Tom Morris and Archie Simpson, two of golf's most influential early course architects, Cruden Bay was intended to embody the spirit of classic links golf. The course layout has evolved over time, but it remains faithful to the traditional elements that have made it a beloved destination for golfers seeking an authentic Scottish experience.

Cruden Bay offers 27 holes over their Championship and St Olaf courses.. It is renowned for its combination of strategic design, natural beauty, and the variety of challenges it offers golfers of all levels. The course winds through towering sand dunes, with narrow fairways, deep pot bunkers, and undulating greens, all of which create a formidable test of golf.
