Situated close to the city of Aberdeen and only a ten minute drive from Aberdeen International Airport, Newmachar Golf Club is ideally situated for international golf enthusiasts and features two golf courses designed by Dave Thomas. 

The Hawkshill Championship course was opened for play in 1990. It measures 6730 yards from the medal tees, and is set amongst mature silver birch and Scots pine trees. Water hazards, combined with strategic bunkering of fairways and greens, make this one of the toughest tests of golf in the area. The course has a par of 72, SSS 74, and a US Slope Rating of 143.
