Cruden Bay: The Old Tom Trails

- Cruden Bay, located a short 30 minute drive outside of Aberdeen feels much more remote when you're there. For all other films please head to www.cookiejarg...
The huge towering dunes, and view out across the North Sea make the arrival into the clubhouse certainly one to remember, and the course weaves its way through them and over those dunes. This is one stunning place to play your golf, as the local residents and members will attest to.
Old Tom was commissioned alongside Archie Simpson to lay out the initial course when the Great North of Scotland Railroad co. developed the course and wider resort as a location for the British gentry at the end of the 1890's.
Central to the story is the iconic pink granite hotel which no longer exists... but that's no bad thing. The demise of the resort and the hotel is actually what makes Cruden Bay what it is today!
This is part of our filming series in partnership with Scotland Where Golf Began, to celebrate the life and legacy of Old Tom Morris in his bicentennial year!
I'm fortunate to have played most of the top rated UK golf courses. Cruden Bay is still the most exhilarating, memorable experience of them all
Absolutely - the trip we did included Prestwick, NB, and Cruden in one sitting. What a few days golf that was
Brilliant video explaining the history. Im playing it tomorrow and now I'm extra excited
Your videos are great! Keep them coming......
Please keep making videos like this, this was awesome and I'm not sure how yall are not bigger than you are!
Thank you
We are lucky to have Tom Morris and the best courses in the World ❤️⛳️ Great video again Guys....Thankyou.
Thanks Dean - cool story there and it’s such a stunning course
Great video. Cruden Bay is a seriously good test but more importantly seriously good fun.
Thanks Ken… we have some other ok places yet to release as well 😉
Outstanding effort guys.... What a stunning venue and history!
Played in 2019 with my son. Epic layout and, yes, warm people everywhere!
Yeah there are some incredible holes. Opening 7 holes are just insane!
Top class work, fellas. Absolutely stunning shots. One of your best videos yet!
Thanks Shawn - the course is so photogenic it’s unreal 👌👌
Playing in June this year. This video is definitely getting me more excited for it
Very well done video. Such a great, fun course. Very nice people there also.
Great stuff. It's a magnificent course in a stunning setting.
Couldn’t agree more Colin 🤛🤛
Great film guys 👍Cruden was built for fantastic drone shots
I know - stunning land 👍 glad you enjoyed it Scott
Really enjoyed this! God, I wish I lived closer to scotland!!
Cheers Kevin - yeah it’s a stunning course. If the camera’s were switched on it was always going to be good
Your videos are really excellent. I've played many of the courses you have broadcasted and very much agree with your assessments. May I humbly suggest that you broadcast a review of New Zealand Golf Club. IMO it is a truly great course combined with a club that is one of the most welcoming I have encountered. The club appears almost to be stuck in time and its the club I imagine when reading Wodehouse's short stories of Golf - I feel sure your viewers would appreciate it hugely
Thank you Andy! Really glad you like the films. Hoping to get to NZ this year - really good story as well with the Frank Pont renovation there in recent years. It’s right up there on the list so hopefully we can make a visit this year 👍👍
Hope you enjoy NB next week - that’s another good one 😉
Mesmerising video. Bucket list golf course.
Thanks Ben - it’s just a stunning STUNNING golf course - as long as the camera was switched on it was going to be a good’un
Best golf course videos around
Cheers Marc - we love making them 👍👍
Stumbled across you on Instagram, and glad I did! I love this style of content, and it’s always nice to get that course overview and insight before heading there. Last minute trip, but I’ve been in 2 minds whether to head to Cornwall for my 40th next week, or go up North and play Cruden and Castle Stuart…….I think you’ve definitely made my mind up which wins!
Haha! There is so much great golf to be had in 🏴 sadly Cornwall can’t quite compete! Glad you like the films and content. Check out the pod also if you’re in the car driving there. We did a podcast with Gil Hanse about Castle Stuart a while back which will get the juices flowing 👍👊💥
Greatest course I've ever played
👌🙌🙌
Fabulous video cant wait to play here 😁
Cheers Gary - 💯 - Aberdeen is a superb area for some golf. Underrated some would say
awesome video, love it! And need to go there and vlog it, what a place!!
Thank you - you would love it. Incredibly picturesque 📸
The 9 hole course is brilliant also
Sadly didn’t get to do the St Olaf but hear there are some amazing holes. It looks great from the clubhouse
Brilliant vid
Cheers James 👍👍👍
Are the drone shots of Slains Castle taken from the golf club or did you head over to the castle?
Another great video in the series. Keep them coming lads. What's the id for the song playing during the video?
Cheers Charlie - I’ll find out on the backing track. Bit of soft drum and bass for a change hey 👌
Excellent film as always but we all know Whitby is the inspiration behind Dracula.
Thanks Austin - it’s a really cool place isn’t it…. But I’m not getting into the Dracula debate lol
I've not watched it yet, I got blanked in the Instagram DMs, but I'm still out here commenting for the algo
Thanks for driving that Algo Ed! We’ll pick up with our head of social media and get to the bottom of it for you
@@CookieJarGolf if there's a position you're taking applications for....
We need a head of editorial and that role could grow to encompass social media. CV’s always welcome
