Situated at our Hazlehead venue, running alongside the Hazlehead 9-hole and the Mackenzie Championship courses, the Pines is more open and a little bit more forgiving than some of the other courses in Golf Aberdeen’s prestigious portfolio.

Revamped in the early 1970s by Brian Huggett, Neil Coles and Roger Dyer, the Pines offers a gentler challenge than its big sister the MacKenzie Championship Course. It is shorter at 5735 yards Par 67, but most of its fairways are tree-lined and there is a good variety of holes with six par 3s and one par 5. The fairways are generous and the large greens inviting, but watch out for the numerous bunkers well placed around the course.

It is described as a “fair test of golf” and you can bask in some great views of the city from the green on the 17th.
