Ranked in the top 60 in the world by "Golf Magazine," this 18-hole championship course, designed by Tom Morris, offers an internationally famous golfing experience, which is set against a backdrop of smoothly contoured greens and magnificent panoramic views.

Key features are the huge dunes on the first six holes and there are lots of blind shots. A forecaddy would be a good investment for the group. There were many spectacular holes with the elevated tee shot at 9 overlooking the beach was a golfing gem. The scorecard suggests that this is a relatively short course, but don't let that fool you. Elevation changes lengthen the course considerably!

Enjoyed a pleasant walk here on a sunny autumn day. Unfortunately the visitor centre was closed but managed to navigate our way around on foot. Climbed to the Knockie viewpoint and walked around the estate. Just the place to blow the cobwebs away and get away from it all

St. Cyrus beach is also a nature reserve, as it’s home to over 70 species of birds, as well as as other flora, fauna & insects - (and there’s also the possibility of spotting ???? and seals in the water.) The stretch of golden sand is around 3 miles, backed by grassy dunes, with red granite cliffs towering in the background. You can access it from the turn off at the North Esk bridge where there is a fair sized car park, and a long wooden walkway to the beach. However, as the views are so spectacular from St. Cyrus cliff top , it’s worthwhile to take in the views from there. If you are physically able you can also use two steep cliff paths to walk down to the beach ( I personally find the northern one easier)and just take time and care to to both ascend/descend. It is well worth it (and I’m lazy!) & takes approximately 10/15 minutes. There are rock pools, rocky outcrops and sand dunes to explore, and a pretty waterfall at the northern end. The beach is also littered with characterful driftwood & flotsam & jetsam. It is a photographer’s dream - especially at dawn & sunset.
