Welcome to the official website of Stonehaven Golf Club
STONEHAVEN: Where Jack Nicklaus plans to build a new golf course (on Ury Estate) 
Stonehaven Golf Club lies on the Braes of Cowie, overlooking the North Sea and Stonehaven town, some 15 miles south of Aberdeen. Though the course is short (par 66 and 5103 yards), it sets a stiff challenge for all standards of golfer.
Among our course's features are:
- Dramatic short holes played over deep gullies and along the top of steep cliffs.
- Lush inland-turf fairways.
- Beautiful greens renowned for being among the best in the North-east
of Scotland.
The course also provides stunning views of the North Sea, of Stonehaven
Bay and the town itself, and of the ancient fortress of Dunnottar Castle.
Porpoises, dolphins and seals can often be seen in the bay – though
we would expect that your concentration on the next shot means you may
not notice them! The course is also of particular interest to geologists as it lies on the Highland Fault Line, which divides Scotland from west to east. In fact, the Fault Line splits the 13th and 15th holes with golfers having to carry their tee shots some 100 yards over a gap known locally as The Gully. Lady members and visitors are allowed to walk to the other side before playing. 
Describing
our course, we can put it no better than quote a travel writer who wrote
recently: “The scenic beauty of this fantastic little eighteen-hole
course is spellbinding … the place would win the Scottish Golf
Course beauty contest hands down.”
Plans are advanced for a second golf course in Stonehaven, on the Ury Estate, on the west side of the town. The company owned by golfing legend Jack Nicklaus will be responsible for the course design.
Stonehaven is easily accessible by road, rail and air and lies at the gateway to Royal Deeside, one of Scotland’s most popular tourist areas.
