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