Fantastic Course & Fantastic Views

For a municipal course the condition is exceptional. Staff are friendly and welcoming and the views of the harbour city beach and sea a bonus that are worth visiting for alone.
For the cost an absolute bargain

Links Golf at Low Prices

For ?15 a real opportunity to play a true Links course. Be prepared for a lesser standard of bunker and to an extent green, but perfectly playable and value for money. Council operated but reasonably well maintained, the selection of holes will compensate for the shortcomings

Hilly but with great sea views

Balnagask is a municipal golf course in Aberdeen at the mouth of the River Dee and situated overlooking the harbour, the sea front and the sea. I haven't played this course much in the past but it is starting to become a favourite with me.
The course is very hilly, with undulating fairways which leads to a lot of blind shots however there are lots of directional marker poles. The course is well looked after and the fairways and greens are in excellent condition. The course is not too long but still has some challenging holes, my favourite being the par 5 tenth.
The thing I like most is that it is always seems easy to get a round, just turn up and tee off ! Possibly this is because a lot of people may be put off by the challenging nature of the hills and you certainly need to e fit to get yourself round.
All in all a very good course with great views.

There is a lot of blind holes but this is a nice course and recommend giving it a go as long as it's not a windy day.

The views from every hole are exceptional and varied and include the city, the harbour, Aberdeen Bay and the hills in Deeside. The course is in great condition and the staff friendly and helpful.
Winter greens are a challenge but summer greens look superb. Roll on summer

Great course kept to a high standard. Greens are in excellent condition. The course can be challenging with wind almost always present. The course is very hilly with a lot of blind holes. Definitely worth a round if you haven't been yet its fun and challenging.
