Frequently Asked Questions

Is Inchmarlo suitable for beginners or higher handicappers?

Yes, absolutely. Inchmarlo's 18-hole course is quite forgiving, with wider fairways and fewer forced carries than some of Scotland's tougher links. We think it's a fantastic place to enjoy a round without feeling overly intimidated, making it perfect for those still honing their game.

What's the best time of year to play Inchmarlo, considering Scottish weather?

We highly recommend visiting Inchmarlo between late spring and early autumn, roughly May through September. You'll get the longest daylight hours and the most consistent weather, though a waterproof layer is always a smart move in Scotland. The course is beautifully maintained during these months, offering the best playing conditions and vibrant scenery.

Beyond the main 18-hole course, what other facilities does Inchmarlo offer?

Inchmarlo is more than just its championship course; they also have a great 9-hole par-3 course, which is perfect for a quick warm-up or for juniors. You'll also find a well-appointed pro shop and a welcoming clubhouse where you can grab a bite and a drink after your round. It's a comprehensive setup for a full day of golf.

How does Inchmarlo compare to other courses in the Aberdeenshire area regarding value or experience?

For the quality of the course and the overall experience, Inchmarlo offers excellent value, especially compared to some of the more famous (and expensive) links in Aberdeenshire. We find it provides a more relaxed, parkland-style round, which is a nice contrast if you're also playing some of the region's coastal courses. It's a solid choice for a well-rounded golf trip without breaking the bank.

What's the signature hole or a must-experience moment at Inchmarlo?

Keep an eye out for the 14th hole, a par-3 that truly stands out. You'll be hitting over a valley to a well-guarded green, with stunning views of the surrounding Deeside landscape. It's a beautiful, challenging shot that really captures the essence of Inchmarlo's scenic beauty and thoughtful design.
