Grantown-on-Spey Golf Club Morayshire

This eighteen-hole golf course was formed in 1890 and is situated in Strathspey, approximately thirty-five miles south east of Inverness in Scotland. From a humble beginning the golf club has evolved over the years and in 1999 a major extension and refurbishment was carried out to the clubhouse to upgrade it to the very best modern standard.

The clubhouse was provided with new locker rooms and an enlarged lounge bar and dining area. The golf club also has a well-stocked golf shop with a good range of all golfing equipment and clothing. Situated in the Cairngorms National Park, the course measures 5710 yards, with a par of 70 and Standard Scratch Score of 68. Though not long, it presents a fair challenge for every calibre of golfer. It is naturally split into three sections – Holes 1 to 6 are played over flat parkland, holes 7-12 are played through moderately hilly woodland, whilst holes 13 to 18 revert to undulating parkland.

The ‘signature’ hole of the course is Murdie’s View, the 275 yard 9th, a short downhill par 4 with the spectacular backdrop of pine trees and the Cromdale Hills. Elsewhere on the course, magnificent views of the Cairngorm range may be observed and wildlife abounds.
