Traditional Scottish links course with undulating fairways, set amid towering sand dunes. There are many steep-sided gullies and sharp falls away from greens and tees. The front nine runs northwards, close to the shore, and although the inward nine moves away from the sea and is shorter, it provides several testing par fours, two fine short holes and a short par five which needs careful positioning of the tee shot.

Designed by Archie Simpson in 1909, Murcar is rated amongst the top 100 courses in the UK and has hosted many major championships. Each hole offers a different challenge. Elevated tees take advantage of the views to the North Sea and Aberdeen.

Simply a continuation of the links at Balgownie, Murcar's holes run in and out of high dunes with tees set high and greens nestling behind great banks of whin and gorse. Murcar is certainly a challenging course where even the simplest error can prove punishing. Like all old links courses, every club in the bag will be required to get around this course.
