One of the newer courses in a land of golf courses that are over a century in age, Westhill Golf Club still brings three decades of experience to the plush Aberdeen golf scene. Built in 1977, Westhill quickly earned a reputation as a quality place to play golf and a great option for those looking to make the most of their Scotland golf vacation package.
Westhill Golf Club is an 18-hole run that plays to nearly 6,000 yards and a par of 69. Water, well-placed bunkers and challenging greens make the course a stiff test for even low handicappers. Well-maintained fairways and mature trees only help add to the allure of this course that sits less than 10 miles from Aberdeen.
And while the golf will keep a player challenged, Westhill also has what so many other Scotland golf courses present - spectacular scenery. Your companion during the round will include stunning views of the surrounding countryside and Royal Deeside, as well as the Grampian Mountains and Mount Keen.

Its a parkland course set on a hill (as you would expect!) with some excellent views of Deeside.
The first tee is a steep climb from the pro shop and this gives you a good idea of what lies ahead.
There are no gimmees on this course and if you cant hit a straight ball bring a plentiful supply of golf balls.
Its not that tight but any stray shots are severely punished with gorse, trees, heather, heavy rough etc all lying in wait.
Also, avoid the course if its wet as its a wee bit spongy, best to play when its dry.
