Peterhead Golf Club - The Old Course
About
Peterhead Golf Club, one of Scotland's oldest clubs, offers two courses, the Old Course and the New Course. The Old Course was built as a nine-hole course in 1892 and extended to an 18-hole course in 1908. The golf course provides an excellent example of classic Scottish links golf. The course snakes along the east coast of Scotland, across valleys bordered y ancient sand dunes and covered with wild grasses. Gusty winds are a challenging factor on the course due to its seaside location. The Old Course at Petershead Golf Club is a formidable links course, but the layout is still accessible to both low and high handicappers.

Hidden Gem
Wow is the correct word. Amazing course, fantastic conditions and a warm welcome. This was one of the most enjoyable courses I have played this year and will definitely return.
Great course,played in a hurricane but thoroughly enjoyed it👍
Excellent course
Play it
Make your own mind up
I really enjoyed it but I’m not you. Do it yourself
Excellent value for money
Play the golf, enjoy the views. Interact with the friendly pro and then go over the bridge and get some wonderful smoked salmon.
One bridge too far
A very enjoyable day..The first time we had played a course where we had to park one side of a river and take our clubs and shoes accross a bridge. Very friendly welcome from the Secretary and staff. Dont judge the course on the first 3 holes. Once we played away from the club house on hole 4 the course came into its own. Not long but a good test of golf and some very good holes. Great views of the coast and sea. Hopefully we will get back before too long for another round. Great value.
Enjoyable day in the wind
We were not expecting to park the other side if the river Ugie but after a short walk over the bridge and up the hill we were met by the secretary and given a great welcome. Dont judge the course by the first 3 holes. Once you get away from the clubhouse at hole 4 the course opens up and with the wind blowing it was a good test. The course is not long but there were some great holes and the wind was gusting up to 40mph. Great views over the bay and a good finishing par 5 down to the club house. We completed 18 holes in 2 and 3/4 hours. Just a drink afterwards in the bar with friendly staff and comfortable surroundings. We will definately return.
Beautiful links
Warm welcome from a pro. Easy to navigate, great condition fairways. Some greens might need some improvement but overall great experience. Worth every penny
Dissappointed
Arrived to find no catering and no access to clubhouse. Greens where ropey to say the least, members would not let visitors play through. There are 4 holes in the middles of the course which were interesting otherwise pretty bland. I can imagine it is a different story when the wind gets up. Some good views.
Some stunning holes!
After a pretty underwhelming start, the course really takes shape as the front 9 progresses.
The stretch from 6-10, and then 15-18 are superb!
Worth Playing
Some really good holes. Greens were excellent- rolling really well.
Peterhead
Brilliant course overall, complimented our day with Trump.
A few ok holes to start but transitions to stunning holes and vistas.
Underwhelming
Not the hidden gem it was billed as, a couple of nice holes in the dunes but other than that the course is quite bland.
Great nick
After all the recent rain thought course was in great condition for time of year, well worth a visit.
Really nice traditional Links and club. Course layout very good and course in good condition ( after a difficult summer ). Green were a wee bit of a disappointment and not as good as we had hoped. Still a fantastic day. Stunning views of the beach and the coast. Some very memorable holes.
