About the Course
Championship links golf routed through spectacular dunes on Scotland's North Sea coast. Martin Hawtree's 2012 design stretches 7,428 yards across the Menie Estate at Balmedie, 16km north of Aberdeen. The course winds through enormous sand dunes that were controversially protected before development — the resulting layout is a genuine links test, with towering dune ridges, deep pot bunkers, and relentless coastal wind. The course has hosted the DP World Tour's Scottish Championship since 2025. A New Course is currently in development on the same estate. Despite controversy surrounding planning approvals, the golf course itself has been widely praised for its quality.
