Duff House Royal Golf Club

When you think of Dr Alister MacKenzie you think of him as the designer of the Augusta National course, home of the Masters tournament. The great MacKenzie also designed the beautiful coastal Duff House Royal Golf Club in Banff.

This 6109 yard parkland course features MacKenzie’s key design principles, including, an emphasis on beautiful natural features, as well as undulating greens and fairways that set up for a minimal amount of blind approach shots; creating a more enjoyable experience for high-handicap golfers.

A course that holds up very well under extreme weather conditions, Duff House Royal is a pretty, manicured, and well-established course that provides golfers of all abilities a challenge.

Low-handicap players will enjoy testing approach shots and tricky, true rolling greens, while weaker players will enjoy taking alternative approach routes as wildlife and greenery surrounds.
