Newburgh-on-Ythan Golf Club

First time playing Newburgh-on-ythan. Quirky course, and two very different 9s. Throughly enjoyable, and in very good condition for this time of year. I’ll be back in summer, to try again.

The course was in immaculate condition for being in winter period, the greens were in incredible condition as was the entire course really! The staff are very friendly and the clubhouse is brilliant as well!

Was advised the course was on summer greens. On arrival it was obvious the course was on winter greens for no apparent reason. The winter tees were well infront of the normal tees meaning the course overall played about half the total yardage which completely ruined the experience.

Excellent parcours de golf,c'est vrai que les parcours links ont vraiment quelque chose de particulier par rapport aux autres parcours de golf.

J'aime ce parcours de links qui nous change des golfs classiques et traditionnels. Accueil très agréable et pro chop avec énormément de choix

Lovely course with amazing views of the estuary and sea. Challenging holes which are fun to play. Very friendly staff and amazing clubhouse and view for drinks afterwards.

Solid course with great views of the estuary. Front 9 is newer and greener with back 9 the original course amongst the dunes. Given the recent weather the back 9 was a little boggy in parts but very playable. Greens in good condition. Everyone playing seemed friendly and pace of play was excellent. Will definitely be back.

Great welcome from the youngster in the pro shop. Front nine much easier although quite hilly so make a score here as the back is around the estuary is quality old schools links with plenty of blind shots from both tee and for approach - tough especially into the wind - Greens in very good condition .

Front 9 is newer and greener, back 9 is low on the dunes, sandier, and waterlogged in some areas following the recent very wet weather. All playable though and greens in surprisingly good condition. Everyone we met was friendly. Look forward to coming back.

Played on a bright winters day, very bad weather previous 2 days though credit to the greenkeepers as we were able to play on the summer greens. A good challenging course especially the back 9 though suits all levels of
Golfers.

The course is under new ownership and green staff.
Playing like a true championship links, would highly recommend a round. Greens are amazing!

Abbiamo giocato sul percorso a 9 buche, piccolo ma interessante come disegno ma i fairway da rivedere, tenuti male, i green abbastanza buoni. Probabilmente il loro percorso championship sarà stato di livello superiore, ma quando abbiamo prenotato si Golf Now, l’unico percorso disponibile era il Sathabie e no sapevamo fosse un 9 buche

Friendly welcome in the pro shop, I was booked to go off later and was allowed to go out earlier, it's almost 2 completely different 9 holes, 1st 9 hilly, up and down, 2nd 9 flatter with some blind tee shots aiming at poles, which makes it interesting the 1st you play them, this was my first visit.
Good laid out course, the only problem were the greens, they were very poor, I'd rate them 4 out of 10 , which is a shame as its the only thing that let's the course down.

This was the first time in almost twenty years I had played this course. It is a decent challenge although winter greens are in play.
What has put us off from going back is the amount of strollers who take great delight in dawdling down the eighth, ninth and eleventh fairways with absolutely no regard to folk playing golf. The couple in front of us and ourselves had issues with strollers who were taking videos of us shouting Fore and asking them to get out of the way. I would suggest the club committee take note and monitor the situation as I believe the club has had financial issues recently and strollers may be part of the reason folk aren’t playing the course.

I much preferred the front 9 as the back 9 is still struggling from the bad weather of late. Very enjoyable round with some challenging holes. Greens were superb.

First time playing here and a solo round. I found it quite tough. It’s not a long course and the weather was about perfect. But there are quite a few blind shots from the fairway. There are some markers on most holes but if you’re on the wrong side of the fairway then you can’t see them and have no idea where you’re going. A couple times I thought I was laying up and dropped it short in the trouble. Read many concerns about the green conditions. I thought they were excellent. Tee boxes were good as were fairways. Bunkers were hard. If you want to play a links style course, with some nice views and don’t want to burst the bank, give this a go.
