Cruden Bay This is one of the prettiest golf courses you will find anywhere. The car park and clubhouse sit high above the 27 holes and from the bar it’s all laid out below. It is a stunning sight, stretching out over the water to Scaurs Rocks and Slains Castle, but the golf is even better… as are the views from the towering 9th tee. The naturally rugged terrain bounds over heaving dunes, offering high tees and dramatic views of holes as the course forms a figure of eight. Greens can sit on natural, elevated sites or down in pockets, and the blind ‘bathtub’ green on the iconic 14th is magical. (Look down from the 9th tee for the perfect view.) It is followed by a blind par three! Truly memorable holes throughout and an unforgettable adventure. 79
