In a remote and beautiful area of rolling and massive sand
dunes, a few miles to the north-east of Aberdeen lies a brooding
seaside links like no other. The Cruden Bay Golf Club is a part of
the very fabric of the golfing folklore of Scotland and a club with
a long history. It was founded in 1791 at Port Errol and remained
on that site for more than a century until it moved to its present
location among the dunes in 1899. Tom Morris laid out the
original course in the days when the only way to move ground was
with pick, shovel, toil and sweat. He fitted the holes in where he
could and made an interesting and wonderful job of it. It has been
said by one eminent chronicler that you may never publicly have
more fun in broad daylight than at Cruden Bay.
