Standing next to the River Dee, the town sits on the eastern edge of the Cairngorms National Park. There has been a small settlement at Aboyne since at least the 17th century. The present day town took shape in the 1820s when a major new bridge was built over the River Dee. A few years later, the arrival of railway and the establishment of the golf course turned Aboyne into a popular Victorian country resort town. The golf club started life as a nine-hole course on the village green as early as 1881. Aboyne has a colourful history as is evident from Aboyne Castle, which adjoins the golf course. The current course relocated next to the Castle and was designed by renowned golf architect Archie Simpson. The front nine holes are wooded parkland surrounding Aboyne Loch. Thereafter, the course changes to heathland built on the unique terrain and topography of 'Rigg & Furrows' of ancient farming which took place on the land during medieval times. The layout of Aboyne golf course remained virtually the same from 1913 until the new holes were added in 1990 by renowned golf course architect Martin Hawtree. The course was reconstructed with the present 18 holes stretching over 6,033 yards opening in August 1991. The club is an affiliated member of Scottish Golf and hosts various national competitions on behalf of Scottish Golf and the R&A. 1 : Golf clubs |
