Cruden Bay Golf Club, located on the northeast coast of Scotland, delivers a pure links golf experience shaped by natural dunes, sweeping vistas, and strategic design. Originally laid out by Old Tom Morris in 1899 and later refined by Archie Simpson and Tom Simpson, the course blends traditional charm with architectural brilliance.
Ranked among the top 100 courses in the world by Golf Digest and Golf World, Cruden Bay tests your creativity, shot-making, and course management across dramatic elevation changes and blind shots. The course plays 6,599 yards from the back tees but rewards precision over power.
Just 23 miles north of Aberdeen, Cruden Bay offers unforgettable views of Slains Castle and the North Sea. The setting is as memorable as the play.
