BALGOWNIE LINKS, BRIDGE OF DON, ABERDEEN, AB23 8AT, SCOTLAND
Records go back to 1589 as to golf activity at this club, making it the sixth oldest club in the world. This is a very tough course with gorse from the 6th onwards compounding the test to golfers. Royal Aberdeen much to its credit has been firm in its efforts to preserve old ways. A true Scottish Links.
