About this course
The golf course at Aberdour is the unusual combination of a parkland course set close by the sea. It is a wonderful course that lengthens out allowing some room for a slice but with reward to those straight and long. A number of holes run along the shore of the River Forth with views across the Forth to Edinburgh and beyond. From every point on the course the golfer can never fail to be inspired by the nearby picturesque Inchcolm Island and its historic Priory; the panoramic view across the Forth to Edinburgh and the River Forth itself as it stretches out into the North Sea. Particularly unusual is the start of two par ‘3’s. They may be short but they are far from straightforward. The first is from an elevated tee down to a green set on a rocky promontory. The second is at least as daunting. Teeing off from the rocky platform by the first green, the shot required is across a bay to an elevated green set into a steep hillside. From the 3rd. tee the course takes on its parkland character as it rolls and undulates across the raised beach. Take care to savour the greens – all are beautifully sculptured with some very attractive bunkering, the 12th being a fine example. With the fine views and a series of testing holes,
