Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Charleton Golf Club?

We always recommend late spring, typically May and early June, for Charleton. You'll find the gorse in full, vibrant bloom, and the coastal winds, while always a factor, tend to be a bit more forgiving than in autumn. The course conditions are usually fantastic then, too.

What's the signature challenge at Charleton that golfers should prepare for?

Without a doubt, it's the stretch from holes 12 through 15, which we affectionately call "The Quarry Run." The par-3 14th, playing directly over an old, deep quarry, demands absolute precision and nerves of steel; anything short is gone. You'll need to commit fully to your club selection there.

Is Charleton Golf Club a good value compared to other Scottish courses?

Absolutely, Charleton offers exceptional value for money, especially when you consider the quality of the links experience. While it doesn't carry the premium price tag of some of its more famous neighbors, you'll find a meticulously maintained course with a genuine Scottish welcome. It's a true hidden gem that punches well above its weight.

What's the atmosphere like in the Charleton clubhouse after a round?

The clubhouse at Charleton has a wonderfully warm, unpretentious vibe - exactly what you want after battling the elements. We love grabbing a pint and a hearty bowl of their Cullen Skink, which is legendary among the locals. It's the perfect spot to recount your shots and soak in the genuine camaraderie.

Are there any particularly memorable holes at Charleton Golf Club?

Beyond "The Quarry Run," the par-5 6th hole, "The Lighthouse View," is truly unforgettable. From the elevated tee, you get a breathtaking panorama of the North Sea and the historic Charleton Lighthouse in the distance. It's a strategic three-shot hole where the view might just distract you from the tricky crosswind.
