Peterhead Golf Club

Dating from 1841 and ranked among the eighteen oldest golf clubs in the world, Peterhead moved to its present Craigewan Links site at the mouth of the River Ugie in 1892, where Open champion Willie Park Jr. laid out a traditional links that was extended to eighteen holes by 1908. A par-70 test by the North Sea, the club's long and occasionally turbulent history includes a landowner's dispute in the 1890s that nearly ended the club altogether.
