A wonderful golf club…

Your Golfer eMagazine’s ‘North East Scotland Golf Club of the Year’, Newburgh on Ythan Golf Club is a great place to play golf. Founded in 1888, the golf club is located east of the village between the Foveran Burn and the River Ythan.

In 1947 following World War II, golf in Newburgh was reborn; the original nine hole layout was played up until 1994 when new land was purchased to the south of the old course on the Foveran links.

Assisted by Greens of Scotland who designed the new nine holes and golf course architect, Glen Andrews who constructed the greens and bunker, the Newburgh course was extended to the eighteen holes that can be enjoyed today.

The new 18 hole layout was officially opened in April 1996.

Situated on the Ythan Estuary, overlooking the North Sea and Sands of Forvie National Nature Reserve, today’s par 72, Newburgh on Ythan championship links course demands accuracy from the tee.

Stretching over 6,423 yards from the championship tees, the Newburgh golf course calls for good course management skills as well as carful club selection.
