Newburgh on Ythan Golf Club was founded in 1888 and was originally a nine hole course laid out on the Newburgh Links which is located along the River Ythan estuary and the coastal dunes. 
The course is characterised by undulations and hills, with elevated tees and greens requiring a range of shot making.  The original inward nine demands accurate golf from tee to green and is the epitome of the typical Scottish links course.
The course at Newburgh is noted for the quality of its greens, its playability regardless to the weather conditions and its magnificent setting.
The Paul Lawrie Junior Classic has become an annual event at Newburgh. The Scottish Order of Meerit counting North East District Amateur Open Championship will be held on the links during 2008.

Newburgh On Ythan Golf Club is next door to Trump International Golf Links!!  Donald Trump's plans to build the Trump International Golf Links at Menie Estate, Scotland. There will be 2 championship courses built over some of the finest sand dunes and coastline in Scotland. Newburgh On Ythan Golf Club is located approximately 2 miles north and offers a chance to play on the exact same stretch of coastline as the proposed championship links.
