Aberdeen Country Club Delivers Great Golf and Value

Aberdeen Country Club is a Myrtle Beach Golf FavoriteAberdeen Country Club is not a mirror image of Scotland’s sixth oldest course, Royal Aberdeen, but it does share at one trait with its ancient namesake.

The North Strand facility provides players on a Myrtle Beach golf trip an enjoyable day of golf at a 27-hole facility, comprised of the Meadows, Woodlands and Highlands nines. Players experience a protected riverfront preserve with an abundance of wildlife.

Golfers familiar with Aberdeen during their annual Myrtle Beach golf vacation recognize its reputation for well-conditioned TifDwarf greens, tightly guarded fairways, and numerous carries over rustic wetlands.  Drivers beware. Aberdeen demands precision off the tee.

Aberdeen is a 4-star course, according to Golf Digest’s prestigious ``Best Places to Play” guide, and it’s popular among families because kids can play free with a paying adult.

All three 18-hole combinations on the Tom Jackson-designed Aberdeen are player-friendly – with no combination of the nines exceeding 7,000 yards in length.

Woodlands (3,445 yards from the championship tees) is considered the most scenic because it takes players along numerous wetlands. Aberdeen’s signature hole is likely the par-4 ninth on the Highlands side with the ultimate dogleg left leading to a 36-yard deep green protected by a greenside bunker in the front.

Golfers beginning on Meadows may want to leave the driver in the bag early. A premium is placed on accuracy throughout the round, but at Aberdeen, like so many Myrtle Beach golf courses, the real emphasis is on providing a memorable experience.

Aberdeen is part of the Myrtle Beach National family of courses. The layout opened in 1990 and has grown into one of the area’s most popular courses.
