Golf course will close to recover from flooding

An Aberdeen golf course is to close to the public until April 2019 to allow it to recover from the damage caused by repeated flooding.

Significant investment is being made in Hazlehead’s Mackenzie championship course, the only public championship course in the north-east

It will undergo ten weeks of drainage works in a major effort to protect it from future damage and “reduce days lost” as a result of bad weather. Once complete, the course will remain closed until next year in a move that is considered essential.
