BRS Booking Links BRS FAQ BRS User Guide Membership Enquiries
Online booking for members is available eight days in advance and will go live at 07:30 each day.
Phone booking will be available from 07:30 each day.
Please be advised that our starters cannot provide assistance with online booking system enquiries.
We request that golfers promptly cancel any tee times which they are unable to attend, to allow other golfers to book this time.
Tee times can be cancelled either via the starters box or within the BRS Golf online booking system.
If members repeatedly fail to arrive for tee times, the Golf Aberdeen team will be in touch to discuss next steps.
To ensure fair access for golfers during periods of increased demand, we would ask that members please ensure that there is at least a four-hour gap between tee times booked and that each member seeks to book a maximum of two rounds per day.
Any member who books more than one tee time within a four hour period and on multiple courses will be contacted by the Golf Aberdeen team to discuss their bookings and clarification sought on which bookings are to be cancelled as it is unfair to reserve tee times you will not be able to use.
We would also remind members that memberships are not transferable and that bookings can only be made for tee times that you are personally attending.
Entry to the course will only be allowed if the person who made the booking is present at the starters box on arrival.

Etiquette
Golf is a game of skill, strategy, and sportsmanship. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out, adhering to proper golf etiquette is essential for an enjoyable and respectful experience for everyone on the course.
You have access to book our courses using the BRS App – however we ask that you do not book multiple courses on the same day with tee times you will not be able to use. This practise is deemed poor etiquette and a member of Golf Aberdeen staff will be contacting those golf members found to be doing this.
At Golf Aberdeen we don’t have a formal dress code for golfers to adhere to whilst on the course. We do however ask that our golfers dress appropriately and with respect to other players. Appropriate footwear should be worn whilst on the course for safety and protection in differing weather conditions.
Endeavour to arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled tee time to ensure you are ready to start your round at the correct time and don’t hold up play.
When your group is not keeping up with the pace of play of the group in front of you, allow groups behind you to play through at an appropriate time if they wish to move quicker.
Although mobile phones are not banned on the course, we do not recommend that you use your phone whilst playing as this may cause slow play or cause a distraction resulting in an accident.
Please ensure you replace all divots. Use soil/seed mixture provided on the tee to fill in the divots that cannot be replaced directly (Hazlehead Pines). Rake bunkers once you have played your shot – removing all footprints. Repair all pitch marks.
When on the green, do not stand where you might distract fellow players. Do not make any noise when your fellow players are preparing to take their shot.
Never strike the ball when there is a chance that you may hit another golfer or member of the public. If your shot looks like it may hit anyone on the course, you should shout “fore” immediately.
Be aware of green staff and golf marshals on the course. Alert any staff in your view before taking your shot.
Abusive language and angry outbursts are not acceptable and you should keep your behaviour under control at all times. Be aware of the people around you as well as fellow players as this may make some uneasy.
