Cruden Bay: The Old Tom Trails
Спорт
Cruden Bay, located a short 30 minute drive outside of Aberdeen feels much more remote when you're there. For all other films please head to www.cookiejargolf.com
The huge towering dunes, and view out across the North Sea make the arrival into the clubhouse certainly one to remember, and the course weaves its way through them and over those dunes. This is one stunning place to play your golf, as the local residents and members will attest to.
Old Tom was commissioned alongside Archie Simpson to lay out the initial course when the Great North of Scotland Railroad co. developed the course and wider resort as a location for the British gentry at the end of the 1890's.
Central to the story is the iconic pink granite hotel which no longer exists... but that's no bad thing. The demise of the resort and the hotel is actually what makes Cruden Bay what it is today!
This is part of our filming series in partnership with Scotland Where Golf Began, to celebrate the life and legacy of Old Tom Morris in his bicentennial year!

Your videos are great! Keep them coming......
I'm fortunate to have played most of the top rated UK golf courses. Cruden Bay is still the most exhilarating, memorable experience of them all

Your videos are really excellent. I've played many of the courses you have broadcasted and very much agree with your assessments. May I humbly suggest that you broadcast a review of New Zealand Golf Club. IMO it is a truly great course combined with a club that is one of the most welcoming I have encountered. The club appears almost to be stuck in time and its the club I imagine when reading Wodehouse's short stories of Golf - I feel sure your viewers would appreciate it hugely

Thank you Andy! Really glad you like the films. Hoping to get to NZ this year - really good story as well with the Frank Pont renovation there in recent years. It’s right up there on the list so hopefully we can make a visit this year 👍👍 Hope you enjoy NB next week - that’s another good one 😉
Stumbled across you on Instagram, and glad I did! I love this style of content, and it’s always nice to get that course overview and insight before heading there. Last minute trip, but I’ve been in 2 minds whether to head to Cornwall for my 40th next week, or go up North and play Cruden and Castle Stuart…….I think you’ve definitely made my mind up which wins!

Haha! There is so much great golf to be had in 🏴 sadly Cornwall can’t quite compete! Glad you like the films and content. Check out the pod also if you’re in the car driving there. We did a podcast with Gil Hanse about Castle Stuart a while back which will get the juices flowing 👍👊💥
Fabulous video cant wait to play here 😁

Sadly didn’t get to do the St Olaf but hear there are some amazing holes. It looks great from the clubhouse
Are the drone shots of Slains Castle taken from the golf club or did you head over to the castle?
Another great video in the series. Keep them coming lads. What's the id for the song playing during the video?
