Westhill Golf Club
About this course
Westhill Golf Club sits in the commuter town of Westhill, approximately seven miles west of Aberdeen in northeast Scotland. The club was established in 1977 and occupies rolling parkland terrain characteristic of Aberdeenshire's inland landscape, distinct from the linksland found along the coast. The course serves a primarily local membership drawn from Westhill and the greater Aberdeen area, reflecting the town's growth as a residential and business hub connected to the North Sea oil industry. The layout measures around 5,900 yards from the medal tees and plays as a par 69, making it a compact but engaging test suitable for golfers of varying abilities. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes across the property, with several holes playing uphill or downhill and offering views across the surrounding countryside. Mature trees line many fairways, and strategically placed bunkers require accurate approach play on the shorter holes. Westhill functions as an accessible club for recreational golfers in the region, with a welcoming atmosphere and facilities that support regular member play and local competitions. The course provides a straightforward parkland experience without the severe weather exposure of coastal links, though winds from the North Sea can still influence play. It represents a typical example of the inland courses that expanded Scottish golf participation during the late twentieth century, serving communities beyond the traditional golfing centers.

Getting there
The journey to Westhill Golf Club begins at Aberdeen International Airport, a compact but well-connected hub just twenty minutes east by road. The drive west from the Granite City follows the A944 through rolling farmland and scattered woodland, the landscape gradually opening as you climb into the low hills that give the town - and the club - its name. Within half an hour of touchdown, the urban edge of Aberdeen gives way to the quieter, more pastoral character of Aberdeenshire, and the clubhouse emerges on elevated ground overlooking a surprisingly undulating stretch of parkland that belies the region's coastal proximity.
