What the club says: "Murcar Link's is as fine a links course as you could wish to play" (Paul Lawrie, 1999 Open Champion) and adjoins Royal Aberdeen to its south side. With Cruden Bay a mere twenty minute car drive north, Murcar is without doubt, "a hidden gem" (Peter Alliss, TV Commentator & Former Ryder Cup Player). The three of them are a hat trick of golf courses not to be missed by the discerning golfer.

Not for the beginner or the faint hearted, Murcar Link's is a par 71 (ss 72) natural Championship links, which represents a truly challenging test of golf. To play it requires every shot in the book and if the wind is up, a few more besides!

What Golfshake says: Another of Aberdeenshire’s finest links, Murcar is laid out over unpredictable, erratic links land alongside the North Sea. Such a landscape is perfect for links golf and as early as the 3rd hole you will discover just how the designer (Archie Simpson, 1909) used this land to brilliant effect. A split fairway on different levels awaits.

The course promises tremendous variation with some blind shots, hidden putting surfaces and swaying fairways. Gorse is everywhere and while it rarely ventures too close, you will always be aware of it. A hillock at the northern end is home to three blind drives, and two blind approaches; then it’s back to the rough and tumble fairways, the humps and hollows, and a burn that will prove magnetic.

It is a short course, switching between par 69 and 71 (two par fives become par fours from the yellow tees), but with the narrow fairways, plenty of hidden dips, bountiful bunkers and the inevitable wind, Murcar presents a stern but fun test.
