Fraserburgh Golf Club

Fraserburgh Golf Club occupies the links ground above the harbour town of Fraserburgh — the 'Broch' to the locals — at the northeast corner of Aberdeenshire where the Moray Firth meets the North Sea. The Rosehill Course is 18 holes of traditional links, founded 1881, on the ground above the town's famous lighthouse.

Par 70, 6,278 yards. The course has the character that remote northeastern links tend to have: wind-exposed, firm-fairwayed, greens that test the touch of golfers accustomed to softer inland surfaces. The 7th and 14th are the holes most cited by regulars; both are played against the background of the Fraserburgh Bay with the Kinnaird Head lighthouse visible from the tees.

Green fee is £35–50. Fraserburgh is not on the standard tourist circuit for Aberdeenshire golf — most visitors who come to this corner of the county are heading for Cruden Bay or Royal Aberdeen, not the further north stretch. That remoteness is exactly the reason to consider it: a proper links on the edge of the Buchan coast, charged at a third of the rate of its more famous neighbours to the south.
