Scotscraig
This original 18 hole layout of 1905 was renovated by James Braid in 1923 , and little has changed since then . The course blends links with heathland as it lies slightly away from the North Sea . It ’ s a combination of crisp , tight , sandy turf , pine tree-lined fairways and blazes of colour . Such unique flourishes make Scotscraig an intriguing round of golf . The low , rumbling fairways deliver a testing mix of holes that sweep through the trees , across ridges and over chasms . Greens lie naturally and you can attack them in different ways but you need to be cautious off the tee : wayward driving only leads to trouble especially if you find the heather , or the trees … or the gorse . Find the fairways and Scotscraig will reward you handsomely and entertain you mightily . Holes like the testing 1st , the signature par four 4th , the magical 7th , the par three 13th ‘ island ’ green and the sweet par five 16th all stand out on this mercurial course .
