Set on rugged links land to the north of Aberdeen, the course is carved through impressive dunes, with a memorable front nine that forges out along the coastline and delivers a superbly eclectic mix of holes. Upon reaching the turn, the layout moves slightly inland and the back-nine holes are played on more of a plateau.
Panellists' comments: "The starting holes are visually fantastic - perhaps the UK's best links front nine"; "Immaculate condition"
