Welcome to McDonald Golf Club, located in Ellon, in the heart of Aberdeenshire countryside, just 16 miles north of Aberdeen. This picturesque eighteen hole golf course offers a memorable golfing experience for golfers of all skill levels. Named after its generous benefactor, Sir James McDonald, who gifted the old woodlands to the people of Ellon in 1926, the parkland course winds its way through magnificent forests adorned with stately trees and beautiful rhododendron bushes.
The original nine hole course features a natural stream that twists and turns across the course, adding a unique challenge to almost every hole. The course has established itself as a popular destination for golfers due to its scenic beauty and well-maintained greens.
At McDonald Golf Club, the focus is not just on golf but also on creating a social club where members can enjoy various competitions and events throughout the year. The club also hosts social gatherings and private functions within its clubhouse. Sandy Aird Jr is the club's professional, managing a well-stocked Pro shop where golfers can find top-quality equipment. Sandy also provides coaching and runs the club's competitions.
Cuthberts Catering takes care of the clubhouse snacks and meals, ensuring that members and visitors have a delightful culinary experience while relaxing after a round of golf. The friendly and welcoming atmosphere of the clubhouse makes it an ideal place to connect with fellow golf enthusiasts and build lasting friendships.
