Booking protocol
To ensure fair access for golfers during this period of increased demand, we would ask that members please ensure that there is at least a three-hour gap between tee times booked and that each member seeks to book a maximum of two rounds per day.
Any member who books more than one tee time within a three hour period will be contacted by the Golf Aberdeen team to discuss their bookings.
We would also remind members that memberships are not transferable and that bookings can only be made for tee times that you are personally attending. Entry to the greens will only be allowed if the person who made the booking is present at the starters box on arrival, as required for track and trace purposes.
We request that all golfers ensure that they promptly cancel any tee times which they are unable to attend, to allow other golfers to book this time. Tee times can be cancelled either via the starters box or within the BRS Golf online booking system.
If members repeatedly do not arrive for booked tee times, the Golf Aberdeen team will be in touch to discuss next steps.
Please take some time to read the user guide to help you make the most of the BRS Golf booking system.
Information & Etiquette
Golf Buggies
With Golf Aberdeen, getting around the golf course is now easier than ever!
Whether you are a member or a pay and play customer, golf buggies are available to hire (subject to availability). Booking in advance is recommended and this can be made by calling the relevant golf starters box.
Cost: Members £15.00 Pay and Play £20.00
All users of Golf Aberdeen buggies will be required to read and sign to acknowledge their understanding of our Buggy Safety Policy.
Golfers can also request approval to use their own personal golf buggy on Golf Aberdeen courses. You will also need to provide our golf team with a valid medical certificate. All requests should be sent to Golf@sportaberdeen.co.uk
Golf Etiquette
Whilst on our courses, we expect all golfers to adhere to the local rules in place. As well as this, we expect all golfers to follow standard golf etiquette including the following:
At Golf Aberdeen we don’t have a formal dress code for golfers to adhere to whilst on the course. We do however ask that our golfers dress appropriately and with respect to other players. Appropriate footwear should be worn whilst on the course for safety and protection in differing weather conditions.
Endeavour to arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled tee time to ensure you are ready to start your round at the correct time and don’t hold up play.
When your group is not keeping up with the pace of play of the group in front of you, allow groups behind you to play through at an appropriate time if they wish to move quicker.
Although mobile phones are not banned on the course, we do not recommend that you use your phone whilst playing as this may cause slow play or cause a distraction resulting in an accident.
Please ensure you replace all divots. Use soil/seed mixture provided on the tee to fill in the divots that cannot be replaced directly (Hazlehead Pines). Rake bunkers once you have played your shot – removing all footprints. Repair all pitch marks.
When on the green, do not stand where you might distract fellow players. Do not make any noise when your fellow players are preparing to take their shot.
Never strike the ball when there is a chance that you may hit another golfer or member of the public. If your shot looks like it may hit anyone on the course, you should shout “fore” immediately.
Be aware of green staff and golf marshals on the course. Alert any staff in your view before taking your shot.
Abusive language and angry outbursts are not acceptable and you should keep your behaviour under control at all times. Be aware of the people around you as well as fellow players as this may make some uneasy.

Whether it’s your annual golf outing, a corporate golf day or just a casual game with friends – Golf Aberdeen has a package to suit you!
