Royal Deeside Golf Week 2026

Society: Royal Deeside Golf Week

Rounds: 4

Established in 2003, the Royal Deeside Golf Week (RDGW) is very popular and fills up quickly with players from across the UK and overseas. The RDGW in 2026 will run Sunday 19th to Friday 24th July. Some 280 golfers take part. Separate Ladies and Gents individual stableford competitions are held daily with prizes awarded across three divisions together with the overall female and male champion of the week. Play is in 3-balls by gender on a carousel basis over the four courses (Banchory, Aboyne, Ballater & Braemar) along the world famous River Dee corridor here in beautiful Aberdeenshire, Scotland. A short video outlining the RDGW, together with flyovers of the four courses, can be found on our website https://www.royaldeesidegolfweek.co.uk The daily teesheet is drawn randomly and published some 5 days before the event. Players travelling in groups will all play the same course on the same day - in close proximity on the tee sheet by gender - so you get to meet your fellow golfers from across the UK, Europe and further afield. There is an optional social programme in the evenings. The cost of the week is £220 which includes all green fees, prizes and a ‘welcome pack’ from our various sponsors. There is no cost to attend the social programme. A built-in midweek ‘Rest Day’ on the Wednesday allows you to explore the nearby royal residence Balmoral Castle, the Cairngorms National Park, Whisky distilleries, the stunning Dunnottar Castle or the wonderful Aberdeenshire coastline and the ‘Granite City’. For those wanting to play more golf we can arrange preferential rates at other nearby courses along the spectacular River Dee.
