Simpson, and later the renowned James Braid, together created a magnificent layout with many wonderful elevation changes.\u00a0 Many holes have a wonderful sloped-tiered effect that not only provides stunning views but also creates a perfect terrain for exciting and unpredictable links golf. As you look down the greens are exquisitely sited on majestic tiers and surrounded by dunes and the odd bunker.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Murcar is a championship course that has hosted an array of Prestigious events including The European Tours Saltire Energy Paul Lawrie Match Play.\u00a0 The course is not a monster in length but you can expect a seriously challenging round of golf.\u00a0 The narrowness of many of the early fairways at Murcar sends an early warning that straight hitting will be the order of the day. Scoring here will require imagination, creativity, and shot-making rather than distance to master this impressive venue \u00a0The golf courses ultimate defence will be the weather which can play havoc at any time with rain, sleet and ever-changing wind gusts and direction. Murcar Links can be an absolute brute but whatever the weather, this is a must-play golf course. It\u2019s fun. exhilarating and is guaranteed to provide you with some tremendous entertainment.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\n","protected":false},"featured_media":236334,"parent":0,"template":"","eb_tags":[222],"eb_category":[115,113,120,118],"class_list":["post-236320","eb_listing","type-eb_listing","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","eb_tags-aberdeen-the-north","eb_category-championship-courses","eb_category-golf-courses","eb_category-hidden-gems","eb_category-links-courses"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
