Kintore Golf Club,
situated in the Royal Burgh of Kintore, was formed in 1911, since which time the
total membership has grown to around 700.
In the early 1990’s
the course was extended to 18 holes and now covers a large area of ground from
the Don basin, overlooked by the clubhouse, to mature woodland at the far
perimeter, giving an interesting contrast between the ‘old and new nines’.
Excellent drainage results in very few days of lost play throughout the year.
Although not as long as
some – measuring 6019 yards from the medal tees – the course means the
visitor cannot afford to be overconfident. The course is a mixture of hilly
parkland, and holes lined by trees and criss-crossed by burns, producing some
very interesting and tricky holes.
The golfer will enjoy
spectacular views over the River Don, stretching away to Bennachie and the
Grampian range of hills to the north and south.
The clubhouse offers changing and shower facilities, and full bar and
catering services (all day between April and September, but may be restricted at
other times).
Trolley and buggy hire
are also available.
The course is located
some 13 miles north of Aberdeen just off the A96. From the centre of
Kintore village take the B977 Hatton of Fintray road and then turn left over the
railway line, and the Clubhouse can easily be seen after crossing the river.
Clubhouse open 9am Monday to
Friday and 7am Saturday and Sunday (April - September)
Full bar and catering services are available all day (April -
September) but may be restricted at other times
