Peterculter Golf Club

WE have enjoyed some good weather this summer and Peterculter Golf Club (PGC) has been very busy with outings, opens and lots of fun/competition golf for the members.

On Saturday 23rd July PGC hosted, for the second time, the Aberdeen Petroleum Club's Charity Pro-Am golf tournament. The event had 39 teams of four players (including one PGA Professional from the Scottish Tartan Tour) playing alongside locally sponsored teams, as well as a few celebrities including former Scottish rugby player Gavin Hastings. The event was a huge success and helped raise well over £20,000 for local charity "Cash For Kids".

The course has developed into one of the best in the North-east of Scotland, attracting visitors from all over the region.

We have received many complimentary comments about the condition of the course and most of these can be attributed to the hard work put in by Colin Forbes, the Course Manager, and his team of hardworking greens staff. The views over the hills, the River Dee and St Peter's Church in Culter make this a beautiful golf course for beginners to try out their newly acquired skills as well as a test for the serious golfer.

PGC is a friendly club with good bar and restaurant facilities. There is an active social side to the club with party nights, Bar-B-Qs, family golf days and cluborganised outings to other courses.

If you are new to the area, or new to golf, then you should consider joining PGC. For more information about the club, you can visit the website, www.petercultergolfclub.co.uk or go up to the club and see for yourself.
