Aboyne was originally a nine-hole course situated on the village green as far back as 1881.

 The current course measures 6009 yards. Set amidst the scenic splendour of Royal Deeside, Aboyne Golf Club can fairly claim to have the finest vistas and panoramas of any course in Scotland.

A course of two halves best describes the layout. The front nine is gently undulating parkland with generous tree lined fairways. The back nine is heathland and presents the golfer with a slightly more muscular challenge!
