Buckpool is a raised links course just on the west side
of the fishing town of Buckie on the Moray Coast. The course's history
is interesting in that it was created as a work scheme for the great number
of unemployed in the 1930s. For a course of this quality some of today's
multi-millionaire course designers would be shaking in their soft-spikes
if such schemes were resurrected.
 With
wind and gorse aplenty this is a challenging and satisfying venue. It
was also the scene of the current Open Champion, Paul Lawrie's first professional
win back in 1986. Paul has been a regular visitor since, and in January
1999 he carded a 10 at the par 4, 10th. There's hope for us yet. If you
arrange a summer tee-time at Buckpool, go out late in the day. On a clear
day the sunset here over the Moray Firth is breathtaking.
