The ground was gifted to the town by Mr Bryson the factor of Seafield Estates at that time. The original 9 holes were created between Portessie and Strathlene House, where 2 of the holes were situated in the area which is now the Caravan Site. The original clubhouse was situated at the entrance to Portessie railway Station. In 1936 the course was extended to 18 holes with the purchase of ground on the headland between Strathlene and the village of Findochty, and was designed by Mr George Smith of Lossiemouth. Strathlene is an interesting cliff top Links type course. Every hole has its own characteristics, of undulating fairways, gully’s and elevated greens, making the most of the natural contours of the land. 4 of the original holes make up an enjoyable finish to the round . Strathlene is a fine test of golf for all levels of golfer, with its breathtaking views of the Moray Firth, The Dolphins and the surrounding countryside .It is a classic in a great location with a par of 69 and 5977 yards in length. The fourth hole, a 210 yrd Par 3, with an uphill drive to a green situated on the Law Hill is certainly worthy of mention. 20:30 - 22:00 Middag på Bayview Hotel -- Cullen JØP's kone tilbyder, at vi kan spise middag på hotellet. www.slicinghookers.dk 27. maj - 03. juni 1 Scotland Tour 2006 28. maj 2006 07:30 - 08:00 Morgenmad 08:00 - 08:45 Transport 45 min. -- Tomintoul Road, Dufftown, Banffshire AB55 4BS 09:00 - 13:30 Dufftown Golf Course Banen er Skotlands højest beliggende golfbane og derfor noget specielt.

Info: Tel: (01224) 702571, Balgownie Championship Links 6,415 yards - 6,850 yards, Par 70, SSS 73, http://www.royalaberdeengolf.com Beskrivelse: The course runs essentially out and back along the North Sea shore. The outward nine (which is arguably acknowledged as one of the finest in links golf anywhere in the world) cuts its way through some wonderful dune formation and the inland nine on the plateau. A traditional old Scottish links, it is well bunkered with undulating fairways. It is an excellent balance of holes, strong par 4's, tricky par 3's and two classic par 5's, with the 8th (our signature hole) protected by 10 bunkers. The ever changing wind, tight greens and a magnificent finish makes Balgownie a test for the very best. Club History: Founded in 1780, Royal Aberdeen is the sixth oldest golf club in the world. For the first thirty five years of its existence the club was known as The Society of Golfers at Aberdeen, with membership of the Society being determined by ballot.The Aberdeen Golf Club was formed in 1815 and its members continued to play on the Queen's Links and over the Broad Hill until 1888 when they picked up their hickory clubs and gutty balls and migrated to the magnificent links at Balgownie. It was Captain H V Brooke in 1886 who moved that 'considering the way that the links was being cut up by cricket and football players, a private course at Balgownie should be procured for golfing purposes'. Less than two years later, with very little ado the Aberdeen Golfers "folded their tents and silently stole away" to the peaceful seclusion of Balgownie Links. 16:00 - 22:00 Eftermiddagen er fri. Vi anbefaler Sightseeing i Aberdeen med Middag. www.slicinghookers.dk 27. maj - 03. juni 3 Scotland Tour 2006 30. maj 2006 07:30 - 08:00 Morgenmad 08:00 - 09:00 Transport 60 min. -- The Barnyards, Banff, AB45 3SX 09:36 - 14:06 Duff House Royal Golf Course Banen ligger i byen Banff 12 miles øst for Cullen. Det er en meget smuk parkbane, hvis nuværende udseende skyldes den skotske golfbanearkitekt Dr. Alister Mackenzie, som efterfølgende drog til USA, hvor han sammen med Bobby Jones designede Augusta National, som nu er hjemsted for den berømte Masters turnering. Banen er anlagt i den tidligere park til slottet Duff House (i dag museum), som stadig kan ses fra mange huller. På nogle huller danner floden Deveron grænse. Fairway kranses af mange træer, og meget karakteristisk er de store bunkers og de meget store greens, som også kan være særdeles hurtige. Ingen særlige krav til handicap. Info: Tel: (01261) 812062, 18 holes (Par 68), Parkland - 6,161 yards, http://www.theduffhouseroyalgolfclub.co.uk/ Beskrivelse: The original Duff House Golf Club was formally constituted on 1st March 1910 to a plan by the late James Braid. The brilliant Golf Architect Dr. Alister Mackenzie (who later went on to design the World famous "Augusta National") redesigned the course in 1923. The course is a flat, beautifully manicured parkland course with little rough. The large "Mackenzie" two- tiered greens, many well positioned bunkers and trees make the course a severe but fair challenge to golfers of all abilities. The Course is bounded by the River Deveron, which proves to be a hazard for those who wander off the tee at the 7th, 16th and 17th holes. Practice ground, pitching area and putting green are available to visitors. The professional has a well-stocked shop and private tuition is available by appointment. The clubhouse has a large comfortable bar and lounge area, offering commanding views over the first and eighteenth holes with the Hill of Doune and the River Deveron as a backdrop. Full catering facilities are available. 15:00 - 19:30 Eftermiddag fri. Ekstra 18 huller på Duff House Royal Golf Club er valgfri.
