Established in 1896, this well-maintained parkland course begins on dramatic cliffs bordering the Firth of Forth, offering panoramic views of Inchcolm Island, Edinburgh and the Isle of May. This is golf with a view!
A round at Aberdour Golf Club starts with two Par 3s, followed by a run of testing, yet rewarding, holes meandering along the Firth of Forth. The back nine holes are either tricky and short or longer and even more demanding, including the Par 4 11th and Par 5 13th. Aberdour - a game to remember.
The first hole is probably the most stunning view in golf; I certainly haven’t seen anywhere more spectacular. The flagpole is the best way to judge the wind direction but the prevailing wind is into from the right. If playing a normal flighted shot then the brave line is at the bunker to the right of the green and let the wind bring it back. An alternative is to play a running shot landing short right and letting the natural contours take the ball down onto the green. The perfect type of shot is to play a punch; take one or two clubs more, hold down the grip, position the ball further bank in the stance and play a 3/4 backswing and follow through.
