This is not a golf break you stumble upon, Meldrum House feels like a secret whispered among golfers. Just 20 minutes from Aberdeen, the 13th-century estate (Awarded Best Premium Hotel in Scotland’ at the 2025 Scottish Golf Tourism Awards) sits quietly in the heart of castle country, surrounded by rolling parkland and ancient trees.
The Knights Course at Meldrum House is a private, championship level parkland course with greens so pure and contoured that placement matters more than distance. Each hole feels like its own challenge, from the tight water-lined opener to the bold, risk-and-reward 17th. It’s strategic golf that keeps you thinking, grinning, & wanting another crack the moment you finish.
Away from the fairways, Meldrum offers five-star hospitality without pretence. Guests can stay in the original manor house, in contemporary stables rooms beside the course, or in spacious lodges perfect for groups. Dine beneath stone arches in the 800-year-old Cave Bar, savour local seafood in the Pineapple Grill, or explore more than 120 single malts after your round. With estate walks, whisky tastings, castle tours & some of the world’s top courses nearby, Meldrum House delivers more than you can ever want from a golf break.

Hole 17 (par 4) - Going for it requires you to bend one round the trees, over the bunkers and up the hill to the raised green. If you play the safe shot our left you still have to judge your run out perfectly or have a tough blind second shot.
