Aberdeen Based Golfing Holidays in North East Scotland.

NAVIGATION MENU

Newmachar Golf Club, which has hosted European tour and international events, is on the outskirts of Aberdeen, and has the options for playing either of two courses.

The Hawkshill Course
Opened for play in September 1990, this Dave Thomas designed, 6700 yard Championship Course, has been endorsed by Peter Alliss and is a real challenge to all who set foot on the first tee.

With a par of 72 (SSS 74), (US Slope Rating 143), Hawkshill is the toughest of all the courses in the area. With water hazards coming in to play in no fewer than seven holes, mature silver birch and Scots pine trees lining the strategically bunkered fairways and greens, the Hawkshill Course is already acknowledged as one of the true tests of golf in Scotland.

The Swailend Course
Swailend opened in June 1997, this 6388 yard, par 72 (SSS 71), (US Slope Rating 117), is another Dave Thomas design which forms part of the excellent facilities at Newmachar Golf Club.

Whilst it may not be as challenging as the Hawkshill Course, it nevertheless provides a test all of its own, with some well positioned bunkering and testing greens. Constructed on rolling countryside, where some 26,000 trees have been planted which gives added character to the layout, the Swailend Course will appeal to all standards of golfer.
