This 18 hole course is set out on a clifftop location at the extreme western end of Buckpool.
UK Golf Guide describes it as a links course with superlative view over Moray Firth[1] The course was created in the 1930s and part of the purpose of the project was to create jobs in a time of high unemployment, especially in the herring fishing industry.
Golf website St Andrews.com [1][permanent dead link] describes Buckpool thus whilst reflecting on its origins as a job creation scheme, for a course of this quality some of today's multi-millionaire course designers would be shaking in their soft-spikes if such schemes were resurrected.
A group of enthusiasts formed a private club and leased the course which has come a long way from the old farmhouse which was the clubhouse to the present building situated besides the 10th and 18th greens.
Buckpool provides a full calendar of tournaments throughout the season for both Ladies and Gents sections and regular competition for Seniors and Juniors as well.
