King's Links Golf Course - 18 Hole Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Taking you back in time to the traditional glory of Scottish golf is King's Links, an 18-hole golf course that's a well-established links course that runs alongside scenic Aberdeen beachfront and is close to other leisure facilities and, for sports fans, close to Pittodrie Stadium - home of Aberdeen Football Club.
Playing to 6,270 yards from the back tees, King's Links is the perfect walking course and a solid test of golfing skill for a wide variety of players. Hard work by greens keepers over the years has paid off, making it a well-manicured municipal run. With daunting par 5s and longish par3s, King's Links will give players a chance to truly understand links golf, and visitors are always welcome - though it's best to call ahead if you're looking to play on the weekend.
Also featuring a 1,273-yard six-hole course for beginners to practice their game or for established players to work out the kinks, Kings Links Golf Course is the perfect stop for those who sport, and are looking to enjoy a scenic golfing experience in Aberdeen.
The course is a good test of golf, especially when the wind blows.

Great Links Course
Many snobs turn their nose up at a municipal council run golf course, they are sadly mistaken this is a great course, some very challenging par 3’s 4’s and 5’s. Green’s and fairways in very good condition. Some great views of the beach, city in the foreground and the home of AFC. Some great golf clubs running alongside the roadside that you can join. I’ve played some other private links courses in the area and I would argue that they are any better.
Fantastic Course
Fantastic links course, which has a challenge to it. Always busy and well priced for offerings on the course. Although dog walkers do go on the course it’s few and far between. Would recommend this course to anyone and it is by far the best council course in Aberdeen
Great value links golf
Course was much better than we expected.
Fabulous value on a hot deal.
Suoer

Don’t miss this course!!!
stuck behind a medal!!
course was very busy and there was a lot of people playing the medal. the pace of play was awful. i couldnt be bothered playing full 18
A course worth playing regularly
A course I alway enjoy playing. When your own home course is flooded, frosted, washed away, or you need a change, give this one a try, it’s a joy
Great links course
We don’t usually enjoy links golf but this course was lovely. Some great views along the coast.
Course condition was good as were the greens. It was a bit difficult to find the starters hut.
Day at the oldest course in Aberdeen City
Great day of golf , friendly staff and golfers
Course in great condition, worth a visit for any golfer
Great budget friendly links course
Played this course mid August. Very dry conditions. Fairly flat Classic links course for bounces, run and some lack of visibility of fairways etc. Lucky to play with a local on the back 9 which helped. Need to watch out for walkers on a couple of holes. Price really good as it’s a city if Aberdeen course. They did have a buggy to rent/ hire - useful when visiting from overseas with only clubs. Course in ok condition - greens great.
Fun easy layout
Just a good easy straightforward golf course.
Excellent value for money and the gent in the starters office is too notch. Thank you for your excellent hospitality.
Highly recommend
A great coastal course
Really enjoyed the round of golf. Weather was excellent and the course condition was good.
Great course if on summer greens.
This was my home course but I've had to move due to the damage on the greens. It's currently playing winter greens probably until end of April. Avoid until back on summer greens especially at £23 a pop.
