The partnership between idverde and Sport Aberdeen has been honoured with a prestigious accolade at the Scottish Golf Tourism Awards 2026. The Mackenzie Championship Course was named the winner of the newly introduced Best Municipal or Community-Owned Golf Course category.
This marks the first time this specific category has been awarded and judged, making the victory a significant milestone for public golf in Scotland.
Located in the heart of Aberdeen, the Mackenzie Championship Course is the only public championship course in the North-East of Scotland. Originally designed by Dr Alister MacKenzie, the course is renowned for its accessibility, ensuring high-quality golf is available to everyone in the community.
The award highlights the dedication of the ground teams who maintain the course’s high standards. For idverde, this recognition showcases the Aberdeen team’s exceptional work and ability to deliver elite playing surfaces despite the challenging North-East climate.
The success of the Mackenzie Championship Course is built on the growing partnership between Sport Aberdeen and idverde. This collaboration has strengthened each year, thanks to:
This 2026 victory creates momentum for an even more significant milestone ahead. The course is now preparing for its centenary year in 2027, celebrating 100 years of golfing history in Aberdeen.
“This is a proud moment for the entire team in Aberdeen,” said Contract Manager Scott Davidson. “Being recognised in this inaugural category is a fantastic achievement. It reflects our team’s daily hard work to keep the Mackenzie Championship Course the flagship of municipal golf.”
Congratulations to the Aberdeen team for your relentless commitment to excellence. This award demonstrates the hard work of everyone involved in the Sport Aberdeen and idverde partnership.
