Golf

Speyside is a high quality, year-round golfing destination with golf courses, accommodation and visitor attractions collaborating to create experiences which are welcoming, enjoyable, unique and memorable.

By the coast

Forres Golf Club is just less than 6300 yards in total, not the longest by today’s standards but it certainly provides a good test. The course offers a chance to relax and appreciate a truly delightful setting with spectacular views over Findhorn Bay and the Moray Firth.

Moray Golf Club starts and finishes in town, in Lossiemouth. This is a classic links, marching away from the clubhouse all the way to the 12th before turning for home close to the beach. Catching the full effect of wind and tide, this is golf-by-the-sea as it should be! 

Further in land
