Course Description

Established in 1890, Grantown-on-Spey Golf Club welcomes individual players and societies. The 5710 yard course has a par of 70 (SSS68) and was progressively developed over the early part of the century by A.C. Brown, Willie Park and James Braid.

The Spey Valley is a major tourist area. When you are not golfing, the explore the Malt Whisky Trail and view the ospreys at nearby Loch Garten. Or go fish in the River Spey or simply go walking in the hills or through the abundant pine forests. Located in the beautiful Spey Valley, the course is a mixture of parkland and woodland with many magnificent views towards the Cairngorm range and the Cromdale Hills. Walking is relatively easy and the course presents a fair challenge for every calibre of golfer.

Perhaps the most scenic hole is Murdie's View, the 275 yard 9th, a short downhill par 4 with the spectacular backdrop of the Cromdale Hills. When the heather is in bloom it is incomparable. For an appreciation and independent view of this course please see golfer reviews.

Beautiful course with architecture from the last century but quite demanding. Especially the 13th hole is an example for every golfer of how a par 3 should look like!! Great fun for bargain fees.

Possibly the finest golf course in the north of Scotland. I have had the privilege to play this quite superb course regularly over the past 5 years. Demanding at times especially the 8th, 10th and 11th holes, but highly enjoyable and picturesque when you reach the drivable 9th Par 4. Highly recommended to both novice and high standard players alike. Hospitality second to none with excellent meals available in a very pleasant and recently refurbished clubhouse.

Another beautiful Highland course. It's always a good idea to play it straight after playing The Boat of Garten........to get your confidence back!
