#8: The Valley
Short par 4 again heading East. A copse of trees is waiting for the overambitious. Tightly bunkered at green.Pro’s tip: “Genuine Birdie chance. Short on line is the clever tee shot.”
#7: North Buddon
A long par 4 in the opposite direction to first 6 holes. Longish carry over burn from tee, with judgement of 2nd shot difficult.Pro’s tip: “This will be the first hole where wind is in the opposite direction. Think!”
#6: Lucky Daddy
Par 4 and not for the faint hearted. Burn to the left, out of bounds to the right off the tee. A narrow well protected green.Pro’s tip: “A short prayer before tackling this hole.”
#5: South Buddon
First of the par 3’s. Tightly bunkered all round the green with a tee hard against the railway line.Pro’s tip: “Although almost 200yds, if tee shot carries ridge at 150yds it is downhill from there to the green.”

The longest and toughest par 4 on the course. Rough lines both sides of the fairway and a tricky new bunker has been put in at 255 yards,also tightly guarded green with a small gap between high mounds.Pro’s tip: “For all but the long hitters play this one as par 5. Try and avoid the […]
#3: The Roses
Plays similar to 2nd, with trouble left and right off the tee. There is more ground between middle guarding bunker and green than it looks.Pro’s tip: “Avoid the bunkers on this hole at all cost, bunkers at 250-260 from the tee can come into play and also be aware of the big bunker in the […]
#2: Jimmy Lindsay
Tough par 4 over 400 yds. After the gentle opening this hole will sort you out! It demands a good tee shot,hit your Driver unless your playing with a strong wind at your tail. The railway line come into play the nearer you get to the green.Pro’s tip: “Try to avoid the right side of […]
#1: Ian McLeod
Fairly gentle 338 yd opening hole. But beware, main Aberdeen – London railway line hard on right of fairway (out of bounds).Pro’s tip: “A tee shot of 220-240 will take the trees behind the second tee out of play and still leave a short iron for your approach”
