This course was a great suprise

We were scheduled to play Trump Scotland so we asked our agent to book another round in Aberdeen so that we would not be making the 3 hour drive from St. Andrews just to play Trump. Our agent selected Royal Aberdeen and boy were we...More

snobby

decent course, good condition but very expensive and not very welcoming ..... an 'old school' kind of club - quite snobbish ..... like they don't really want you there .... sad really .....

All you can handle

Great layout, especially the front nine. Some of the biggest dunes around. Bring your A game and some patience.

A Classic Links Course

Played Royal Aberdeen just before they close for the winter. Had the course to myself ... just me, my caddie, and my wife, who walked along but didn't play ... and had a great time! The fairways are narrow, but the course is certainly fair....More

Very tight and punitive

This was the second course we played on the same day, finishing at near 9 p.m. We were BEAT and maybe that contributed to poor play and generated a bad feeling about the course. In addition, we played in a high wind that was not...More

Memorable

It has been 4 months since my last visit to Scotland. Kingsbarns, Carnoustie, etc.;and it is Aberdeen that lingers in my memory. Nothing in Fife compares. Car-"nasty" is almost tame compared to the outward nine here. Some say the club is unwelcoming, but it is...More
