A Greenside Chat: "The Story of an Authentic Scottish Golf Club" ~ Cruden Bay Golf Club

This week our guest for a Greenside Chat is Les Durno, General Manager at Cruden Bay Golf Club, a quintessential club with a unique history located in the northeast of Scotland. Les discusses his long time family ties with the Club, the fascinating backstory of Cruden Bay Hotel & Golf Club and why the visitor experience is so memorable both on and off the course. He also shares some fantastic footage from a 1914 match between Harry Vardon and Ted Ray. From Dracula & Slains Castle to authentic links golf and warm welcomes, don't miss this Greenside Chat!
In the coming weeks PerryGolf Co-Founder Gordon Dalgleish will interview Andrew Crerar, Head Professional at Panmure Golf Club, one of Scotland's oldest clubs which in many ways epitomizes the very essence of Scottish golf; and Simon Newland, Secretary at Royal Liverpool (Hoylake) Golf Club, one of the game's most prestigious venues located in Northwest England and with a history unlike any other club.
Please enjoy Les's story.

I had the great fortune to play Cruden Bay in 2013 and again in 2014 and it is an experience I will never forget! Thank you John Mutch!

wonderful my friend.

Excellent overview - although I have played my favourite course many times since the early 1990’s this video provided some new insights on the wonderful history of the club. Cannot wait to return!

Greatly enjoying the video, Les Durno is a great raconteur. However, that dramatic castle at 13:01 is Dunnotar Castle, which is 40 miles south, not Slains!

Well done Mr Durno. When are the BAFTA nominations due? ;-) Nice piece. Very informative.
