Set in the heart of the Buchan countryside, midway between the fascinating fishing trail and the historic castle country, this scenic eighteen hole golf course provides a memorable golfing experience for all standards of golfer.

more

The parkland course is named after its benefactor Sir James McDonald who, in 1926, gifted the old woodlands to the people of Ellon. The original nine hole course wends its way through this magnificent forest with its stately trees and beautiful rhododendron bushes.

Even though the forest is very close to the town it is alive with wildlife and if you are very lucky you may catch a glimpse of our native red squirrel.
The well established first nine has been carefully constructed to maintain the parkland character.
It has a natural stream that twists and turns across the course and features on almost every hole.
We acknowledge that we are only the caretakers of a very beautiful and valuable natural habitat. Every effort therefore, is made to manage the course in an environmentally responsible way.

Junior Club of the Year

more

 Organised by Scotland’s national junior programme clubgolf and the Scottish Golf Union, the awards recognise clubs that have demonstrated excellence in promoting junior golf during 2009.
Following a thorough evaluation by clubgolf’s judging panel we won through to the final seven clubs along with, Eyemouth (Berwickshire), Gullane GC (East Lothian), Orkney GC, Palacerigg GC (North Lanarkshire), Powfoot GC (Dumfries amd Galloway) and Royal Montrose GC (Angus). Clubgolf Project Manager Torquil McInroy, whose organisation helped organise the event said: "The Clubgolf Junior Club of the Year Award is a great opportunity for golf clubs all over Scotland to gain recognition of their efforts in growing the game."

The awards ceremony took place at St Andrews Old Course, where Orkney Golf Club emerged winners.
