A HISTORIC GOLFING HAVEN
Cruden Bay Golf Club has been a golfing sanctuary for over a century. Established in 1899, it boasts a traditional Scottish links layout that challenges golfers with its natural dunes, tricky bunkers, and unpredictable coastal winds. The course has even played host to several prestigious tournaments, attracting golfers from around the world to test their skills against its rugged beauty.

But Cruden Bay isn’t just about golf; it’s also steeped in history. Perched nearby is the legendary Slain’s Castle, a place where Bram Stoker found inspiration for his classic novel, Dracula. The castle’s eerie ruins add an intriguing dimension to the golfing experience, making Cruden Bay a unique blend of sport and history.
