Torphins Golf Club
About
Set in Royal Deeside and offering golfers an historic and scenic round of golf, Torphins Golf Club is just 22 miles from the city of Aberdeen. A nine-hole run that can easily be played as 18 with 13 different tee-settings, Torphins plays to nearly 5,000 yards from the tips for 18 holes with a par of 66.
Founded in 1896 as a direct result of a railway line that opened up this pristine area of Scotland to visitors, Torphins Golf Club has undergone a multitude of changes in its more than a century of existence. Like many Scotland golf courses, Torphins was forced to alter its course during war times to accommodate the extra farming needs of the nation, but has now added modern touches such as a new clubhouse.
Golfers looking for a challenge won't be disappointed by the nine holes and diverse tee placements at this delightful run. The No. 4 hole is a perfect example of what Torphins has to offer - a 243-yard downhill par 3 to a hidden green, you'll need both distance and accuracy to set yourself up with a birdie opportunity. Of course, before you tee off, you'll have to walk forward a bit to check to see if there are golfers still on the putting surface. The No. 4 hole is
one of the many challenges you'll face at Torphins, which is a popular stop for locals, as well as for golf travelers looking for hidden gems on their Scotland golf holiday.

Beautiful course.
A gem in Royal Desside.
Beautiful course, stunning views.
Members vey welcoming and friendly.
winter in Torphins
winter greens and course, excellent layout a challenge for all great day out
Nice Course but Clubhouse and bar Closed
Thought I'd try a quick 9 holes at this course not too far from home. I was hoping for a coffee and roll before I started so arrived an hour early. Closed! I had to go back to the village for a bite.
There was a ladies medal on and it was slow. The 2 ball in front of me held up the whole course. They eventually gave up at the 12th but I caught up a slow 3 ball soon after. As it was on the 7th, it wasn't too bad as I only had a couple of holes to go.
On finishing I saw some ladies in the clubhouse but the bar was still shuttered.
I wouldn't go back.
Nice but very hilly.
Torphins is a very nice course with different tee positions to make it feel more than a 9 hole course but not as big as an 18 hole one.
The course was in good condition and well maintained with some lovely views of the surrounding area.
It’s a hilly course which on a normal day would be straight forward to get round but on a hot day like it was quite draining.
The toilets were open which is welcome when your playing with a lady golfer .
Overall, a nice course, not too busy.
Fun and enjoyable course
Great course that makes you use your imagination when playing shots. Brilliant value for money. Will definitely play again
Nice little course
Nice little course, quite short but some lovely holes, could do with some 100 yard markers just to help with distances but very enjoyable.

A wee cracker of a course.
The 9th hole is a beautiful holw which I drove in
1.
A joy to play
Torphins Golf Course a tricky wee course was looking great, the fairways had a spring to them and allowed the ball to sit well
The greens were excellent for this time of year and I congratulate the maintenance staff on the excellent condition of the course
I recommend this course to all golfers….. a hidden gem
Lovely Course
Great testing course beautiful views of countryside. Staff very helpful and friendly.
Great course
Enjoyed game here today. Pretty challenging but very enjoyable. Lovely views and friendly people.
Well worth a visit
Lovely little 9 hole course. Hilly, so offers great views of the surrounding countryside.
Short, hilly course. Good challenge.
A short course, the hilly Torphins offers an aerobic workout along with your round. Mostly straight fairways, some holes offer great views of the surrounding countryside. Well worth a visit.
Great
Even though it rained when I visited the course was in great condition except from some winter greens still in use. No staff on site so was unable to check out amenities.
Highlight is the 2nd and 9th tees.
Mann /Watson.
A hidden gem of a course.
Superb layout, course in good order considering the considerable rain over the last month.
Beautiful scenery around.
Well done all involved in this club.
Quiet and relaxing
Lovely little course based around a hill. Lots of elevation as more holes are either up or down.
Greens and fairways very well kept.
Cheap round too so great value for money.
