THE CLUB TODAY
The Club today boasts a healthy membership of both local UK and overseas members.
Promoting and encouraging the junior category is also high on the list of the
Club's priorities. There is consistently a waiting list for full membership.
Since its earliest beginnings Royal Aberdeen Golf Club has promoted the game,
in the Granite City, by bringing major players to the club. Morris, Hagen, Cotton,
Lema, Jacklin, Norman, Watson and Brooks to name but a few.
In recent years major national and international events have been contested over
the classic Balgownie Links, by both professional and amateur. As with many great
courses the policy of the club is to keep pace with the modern game and to that
end subtle changes are regularly introduced to keep the course interesting and
challenging for all categories of golfer. Maintaining and combining tradition
and quality is reflected on and off the courses. Extensive renovation within and
around the clubhouse in the late 90's has attracted much praise and enhanced the
pleasure and comfort of members and visitors alike.
Visitors are made extremely welcome at Royal Aberdeen and they may play our championship
course, Balgownie Links provided they have a handicap of 24 or under.
