The Hawkshill Championship course at<br />
Newmachar was designed by Dave Thomas and<br />
opened for play <strong>in</strong> 1990. It measures 6730 yards<br />
from the medal tees, and is set amongst mature<br />
silver birch and Scots p<strong>in</strong>e trees. Water hazards,<br />
comb<strong>in</strong>ed with strategic bunker<strong>in</strong>g of fairways and<br />
greens, make this one of the toughest tests of golf<br />
<strong>in</strong> the area. The course has a par of 72, SSS 74,<br />
and a US Slope Rat<strong>in</strong>g of 143.<br />
Hawkshill course has hosted several professional<br />
tournaments <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g, the Scottish Senior Open,<br />
the Scottish PGA Championship, the Northern<br />
Open and was a qualify<strong>in</strong>g venue for the British<br />
Seniors Open. In June this year the course will<br />
host a PGA EuroPro Tour event - the Paul Lawrie<br />
Foundation Granite City Classic.<br />
Current green fees are £55 per round Monday – Friday, £75 per round Saturday and Sunday.<br />
Be a “member for the day” at Western Gailes,<br />
traditional l<strong>in</strong>ks golf at its fnest<br />
WESTERN GAILES is a highly traditional<br />
Scottish private members club renowned for<br />
the exceptional condition of its undulat<strong>in</strong>g<br />
l<strong>in</strong>ks and friendly clubhouse where all<br />
our visitors are ‘members for the day’.<br />
Unlike many l<strong>in</strong>ks courses where the sea<br />
is almost completely hidden by massive<br />
dunes, or where the course itself is now a<br />
long way from the sea, at Western Gailes<br />
you are always aware of its presence and<br />
beauty, particularly so on the marvellous<br />
stretch of holes from the 5th to the 13th.<br />
Te course puts no more emphasis on<br />
length than it does on the delicate approach<br />
shot or the well-struck medium or longiron,<br />
but all these skills are exam<strong>in</strong>ed<br />
dur<strong>in</strong>g a round at Western Gailes. Perhaps<br />
that is why, comb<strong>in</strong>ed with its beautiful<br />
sett<strong>in</strong>g and most warm welcome, it has<br />
captivated so many golfers for so long.<br />
Ò Beautiful holes, on<br />
great land make it<br />
endlessly <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g<br />
and challeng<strong>in</strong>gÓ<br />
