Royal Aberdeen

Venue of the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open 2014 

Royal Aberdeen Golf Club in Abedeen, Scoland was founded in 1780 as the Society of Golfers at Aberdeen and became the Aberdeen Golf Club in 1815. Until 1888 members played on the Queen's Links close to the city before mving across the River Don to the links at Balgownie. The course was originally designed by the SImpson Brothers, Archie and Robert of Carnoustie and later re-bunkered and lenghtened by James Braid. Hawtree & Company are now engaged as the Club's architects to ensure our classic links keeps pace with the modern game. 

The Club's 'Royal' designation was awarded by Edward V11 in 1903.
