Frequently Asked Questions

What's the Kintore course like - is it a true Scottish links experience or something different?

Kintore offers a delightful parkland challenge, a refreshing change from the coastal links you might expect in Scotland. You'll navigate tree-lined fairways and some tricky elevation changes, especially on the back nine, which really tests your shot-making. It's a proper test, but always fair.

When's the best time of year to play Kintore Golf Club for the best conditions?

We always recommend visiting Kintore between late spring and early autumn - May through September - for the best playing conditions. The course truly shines when the trees are in full leaf, and the greens are at their quickest, offering a vibrant backdrop to your round. You'll avoid the harsher Scottish winter weather and enjoy longer daylight hours.

Is Kintore Golf Club a good value for a visitor looking for a genuine Scottish golf experience without breaking the bank?

Absolutely, Kintore is fantastic value for money, especially compared to some of Scotland's more famous courses. Green fees are very reasonable, and you get a well-maintained, engaging course that feels welcoming and unpretentious. It's a perfect stop if you're exploring the Aberdeenshire region and want a quality round without the premium price tag.

What's the signature hole or a particular highlight at Kintore that I should look forward to?

Keep an eye out for the par-3 12th hole; it's a real beauty and a proper challenge. You're hitting over a dip to a well-guarded green, and judging the distance correctly is key to avoiding trouble. It's one of those holes that sticks with you long after your round.

What kind of atmosphere can I expect at Kintore Golf Club - is it welcoming for visitors?

Kintore has a wonderfully friendly and relaxed atmosphere, making it very welcoming for visitors. It feels like a genuine local club, where members are happy to chat, and the clubhouse offers a comfortable spot for a post-round drink. You'll feel right at home here, which isn't always the case at every Scottish course.
