Played in the Royal Deeside Golf Week and had a very enjoyable time. This is my 3rd time at this event and I have enjoyed all 3 times.It was very well organised considering the number of people playing.
Out of the 4 courses Aboyne is my favourite but they are all interesting in their own way.

Me and 2 friends had travelled up from the Lake District for the royal deeside competition over 4 days. The first course was aboyne on the Monday, stunning course, very good greens and beautiful sights of the surrounding hills etc. It has some quirky holes on the back 9, and a great par 5 to start with on 10. Great facilities very friendly staff etc, I would really recommend playing aboyne if you are get up that way!Course (layout/challlenge)

The course was good except for the part round at 10th and 11th. Fair course.They 4 day competition could maybe be revised. Having four days stableford is a bit boring. The updates, etc were great. Thanks for your hospitality.You should also stop playing with the people you know. It is a chance to meet new people and playing with different people would be more friendly.

I played Aboyne with a group of 8, the course layout is excellent with a real classic back nine.Having played it several times over the years, the club takes great pride in how its turnout - we all agreed it was the best conditioned course we'd played - from tee's to greens.
The views are terrific and the course was not too busy so we enjoyed a great fun round of golf on a challenging but very playable, friendly, scenic course!!!!!
Highly recommend to any level of golfer.
