Taking you back in time to the traditional glory of Scottish golf is King's Links, an 18-hole golf course that's a well-established links course that runs alongside scenic Aberdeen beachfront and is close to other leisure facilities and, for sports fans, close to Pittodrie Stadium - home of Aberdeen Football Club.

Playing to 6,270 yards from the back tees, King's Links is the perfect walking course and a solid test of golfing skill for a wide variety of players. Hard work by greens keepers over the years has paid off, making it a well-manicured municipal run. With daunting par 5s and longish par3s, King's Links will give players a chance to truly understand links golf, and visitors are always welcome - though it's best to call ahead if you're looking to play on the weekend.

Also featuring a 1,273-yard six-hole course for beginners to practice their game or for established players to work out the kinks, Kings Links Golf Course is the perfect stop for those who sport, and are looking to enjoy a scenic golfing experience in Aberdeen.

Great links course

We don’t usually enjoy links golf but this course was lovely. Some great views along the coast.
Course condition was good as were the greens. It was a bit difficult to find the starters hut.

Great budget friendly links course

Played this course mid August. Very dry conditions. Fairly flat Classic links course for bounces, run and some lack of visibility of fairways etc. Lucky to play with a local on the back 9 which helped. Need to watch out for walkers on a couple of holes. Price really good as it’s a city if Aberdeen course. They did have a buggy to rent/ hire - useful when visiting from overseas with only clubs. Course in ok condition - greens great.

Great course if on summer greens.

This was my home course but I've had to move due to the damage on the greens. It's currently playing winter greens probably until end of April. Avoid until back on summer greens especially at £23 a pop.
