Stonehaven Golf Club finds itself with an ‘after the Lord Mayor’s Show’ vibe right now; the Summer season formally over while the Winter season is yet to begin. Whilst the debris is swept away by the caretaker, the bunting hanging apologetically from the ceiling, we’re forced to wait a little longer for the Winter League […]
There was some fine scoring this weekend at Stonehaven Golf Club with almost a hundred competitors taking part in the Barlow Cup, the last competition of the season.

Knockout tournaments are nearing their culmination with grand finals day beckoning […]
Thanks to Jennifer Reid for the photo 👍
It’s been another haar affected week at Stonehaven Golf Club, heavy fog curtailing some events and putting paid entirely to others. It’s a blessing to live in such a wonderful part of the world but try telling that to frustrated golfers alighting on the first tee, unable to see beyond the end of their noses. […]
