Kings Links Golf Course

Kings Links Golf Course is a classic Scottish links course located on Aberdeen's beachfront, with golf having been played in the area since 1661. The current course was laid out in 1872 and stretches 6,442 yards with a par of 71, featuring four par 5s and five par 3s that provide good variety.

Set between the city and sea, the course utilizes the natural undulating terrain of the coastal dunes. Characteristic of Scotland's east coast links courses, Kings Links features big dunes, quick greens, and numerous bunkers in what is described as "golf in the raw." The varying wind conditions typical of the beachfront location add to the challenge and appeal of the course.

The course offers an enjoyable test for golfers seeking authentic links golf, with the natural landscape and strategic design demanding both skill and adaptability. Wind exposure is a significant factor in play, particularly during windy conditions, making course management essential for competitors.
