The Golfer’s Review

Aberdeen delivers a peaceful round in a natural setting, with plenty of wildlife sightings and very little housing around the course. It’s playable for higher handicaps yet engaging enough for skilled players. I’ve always enjoyed the routing options here—each 9 has personality, and the Woodlands nine especially offers a bit more bite. It’s a great course to walk, too, if you enjoy taking your time.
