Archie Simpson laid out the first course at Murcar in 1909 in
spectacular links land in the north east of Scotland north of
Aberdeen. Master architect James Braid is known to have made
alterations to the original layout in the early 1930s and recently
Graeme J Webster's Team Niblick Limited have carried out
alterations and improvements sympathetic to what Simpson and Braid
had set out to achieve. Murcar is a heritage of classic links golf
which television commentator Peter Alliss once famously described
as a course "not entirely suitable for beginners". But the fact is
that anyone who plays this magnificent links cannot fail to be
impressed by and take wonderful enjoyment from it. Murcar Links
hosted the inaugural Scottish Challenge European Challenge Tour
event in the summer of 2006, shortly after its refurbished
Clubhouse and practice area were opened. Online booking available
via Golf Switch. Opening Time Exceptions: Sundays after 11.00;
Tuesdays after 12 noon; Wednesday before 12 noon; Saturdays after
16.00
