Murcar Links Golf Club (Murcar)

Rated highly by Hole19 golfers, Murcar Links Golf Club (Murcar) in Bridge of Don, Scotland is a private links course that backs up its reputation with a strong set of verified credentials. Designed by Archie Simpson and James Braid and opened in 1909, the 18-hole layout plays to par 71 from 6,462 yards off the back tees. Elevated tees, gorse, a rugged coast, and wide views out to sea define the terrain. Holes 6 (Seaton) and 9 (Black Dog) are among the named signatures on the card. The course has hosted the R&A Men's & Women's Home Internationals in 2024, qualifying rounds for the R&A 123rd Amateur Championship in 2018, and the Saltire Energy Paul Lawrie Match Play in 2016. Rankings include No. 91 in the Golf Monthly Top 100 (2023), No. 30 in the 2025 Top 100 Scottish Golf Courses, and 85th in the Best Links in GB&I (2024). Practice facilities include a full-length driving range with grass and synthetic teeing options plus covered bays, and a specialised short game area. The clubhouse has undergone a refurbishment.
