If you want the best, go play Pine Valley, the Old Course or Augusta (good luck with that). If you the most fun, play Cruden Bay. Which is not to say Cruden Bay isn’t an amazing course — it is. It’s just more than that. Set among crazy dunes and full of features that would never be considered today, never mind built, Cruden Bay—to put it diplomatically —marches to the beat of its own drummer. Get yourself to Cruden Bay and experience this magic yourself.
Expert Reviews
Cruden Bay is a golf course that dances to its own beat. It’s gripping, riveting, absorbing and most importantly its individuality shines through. Cruden Bay is one of very few courses that has a real personality…Those going in search for the soul of the game would be well advised to visit Cruden Bay, because I think you might just find it here.
