Aberdour Golf Club
Played On 07/20/2018Fun little course but lacking in some areas
I'll start with the good points.
The pro made us feel very welcome and took the time to answer various questions we had about the course.
The course was pleasant with some lovely ocean views and a few challenging holes.
Other than that, everything was pretty average.
No driving range, only nets. The chipping green was not even worth using due to the condition of it and the putting green was just Ok.
The course is a par 67 but feels like a par 64 with countless short par 4's so it doesn't really feel like you are getting to play a full round of golf. There is a lack of what I would call 'proper' holes on the course. A handful of par 4's are reachable with a well hit fairway wood. (We did play off the yellows but there didn't seem much difference between the yellows and whites).
The greens were just about good enough with regards to the trueness of them but were agonisingly slow.
All in all I would recommend this course if you are in Scotland to play a few rounds at various places as it's a scoreable and fun little course which would be nice to play as part of a 4 or 5 round mini tour. We were up in Scotland for The Open and this was the only course we played and it left us both feeling like we needed to play again. The location of the course far exceeds the quality and layout of the course.
