Characteristics
Fraserburgh is one of the true links courses left in Scotland. The club was established in 1777 when golf was played on the towns links. It moved to it's present location the philworth links in 1891. Much of the present course was designed in 1922 by James Braid, the first man to win the open 5 times. Set in Scotland's far North-east corner 42 miles North of Aberdeen, Fraserburgh is a fine 6,308 yard par 70 18 hole course and a 2,416 par 33 nine hole course. The view from the third tee on the main course alone makes the trip to Fraserburgh worthwhile. Looking over the fishing port, the North sea and onto the joined Villages of Cairnbulg and Inverallochy. Inland looks across the Buchan Plains and onto Mormond Hill.Fraserburgh is known as a friendly club and any visitor will enjoy their trip to the "Broch".

The course is simply beautiful. The facilities are simple and not fancy. The course is just fun. A very nice links course even if you can't see the sea. Always worth it if you're in the area.

Nice links, not a classic.
Reviewed September 5, 2024
Today we played the 18-hole Corbiehill, a typical links course with some spectacular holes, but the course doesn't come close to the classics. There are also a few boring holes that lower the rating. However, I really liked holes 7 and 13, which make up a typical links course.
Fairways okay, bunkers very playable, greens flawless but not too fast.

Puristic-traditional links golf
Reviewed July 29, 2024
Played mid-June 2024, HCP 16
A rustic, traditional links course (according to their own assessment, the 7th oldest golf course in the world - dating back to 1777). Quite puristic - for example, the "pro shop" consists of a shelf on the wall and mainly offers (bobble) hats and towels. Balls, pitchforks, etc. are available at the bar. (There is, however, a golf shop nearby.)
And the course also dispenses with any "frills". Hard fairways, treacherous rough, deep pot bunkers - and (probably almost always) a strong 2-iron wind from a variety of directions thanks to the layout. This, as well as the roar of the nearby sea, usually drowns out the noise of the roads near a few of the holes.
Water hazards = non-existent. You don't miss them, the course is challenging enough as it is. Blessed with fairly wide fairways at the front, you get the feeling that towards the end of the round the dunes covered with tall grass are getting closer and closer to the mown areas.
The moderately fast, heavily undulating and often multi-level greens do not make the game any easier.
The views of/over the dunes towards the sea are sensational! Inland, a few electricity pylons and small houses sometimes spoil the view.
The condition of the course is very good throughout. Although the fairways look like patchworks due to the different types of grass, the balls almost always play perfectly.
A cart is not absolutely necessary (there are very few available) - but it makes walking on the hard surface easier and offers a little protection against the elements.
The course is not very long - from YELLOW it is a good 5,800 yards (approx. 5,300m), with PAR 70. There are only two PAR 5s. The individual holes are sometimes shorter and sometimes longer due to the wind, so the fairway bunkers are sometimes "unreachable" and sometimes "fully in play". It remains varied!
Conclusion: A great links course in a historic style. Definitely worth a play – a solid 4 stars! (In the “Golf Bear Ranking”: a whopping 7 out of 10 points.)
