| Golf Packages - Aberdeen & The Highlands |
|
For many people, the North of Scotland epitomises their image of the country as a whole. Mountains, heather, castles, and whisky are just some of the ingredients that contribute to the charm of the Highlands. The championship courses at Dornoch and Nairn are the magnets that draw many golfers north. However, there are many other courses in the areas well deserving of play, from the pleasing links at Golspie to the short but demanding inland course at Boat of Garten, considered a supreme test of accurate golf.
On the other hand, whilst Aberdeen (the so called Granite City and, for nearly 3 decades the centre for Britain's oil industry) may conjure images of more reminiscent of the New World than the Old, records of the Aberdeen links date back to 1589, and Royal Aberdeen itself is the sixth oldest club in the world. Further north, the links at Cruden Bay, carved out of massive dunes bordering the North Sea, boast one classic hole after another. |
