Courses

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to plan a golf trip to Moray?

We always recommend late spring through early autumn - May to September - for the best weather and longest daylight hours. You'll find the courses in prime condition, and the milder temperatures make for a much more enjoyable round, especially along the exposed coast. Just remember to book your tee times well in advance, as this is peak season.

What kind of golf courses will I find in Moray - links, parkland, or something else?

Moray truly offers a fantastic mix, which is one of its real charms. You'll primarily encounter classic Scottish links courses along the coast, like Lossiemouth and Nairn, demanding precision and creativity in the wind. Venture inland slightly, and you'll discover some excellent heathland and parkland layouts that offer a different, often more sheltered, challenge.

How does Moray compare to more famous Scottish golf regions like Fife or Ayrshire in terms of experience and cost?

Moray offers a distinctly more relaxed and often more affordable golf experience than the bustling hubs of Fife or Ayrshire. You'll find world-class links golf without the premium price tag or the crowds, allowing for a more intimate connection with the game. It's less about the grand resorts and more about authentic, unpretentious Scottish golf.

Are there any specific "must-play" courses in Moray that often get overlooked?

While Nairn and Moray Golf Club (Lossiemouth) rightly get a lot of attention, don't miss out on Cullen Golf Club - it's a quirky, short links with some truly unique holes right by the sea. For a fantastic inland challenge, we also love Forres Golf Club, which offers superb conditioning and a real test of strategy. These courses provide immense character and value.

What's the best way to get around Moray to maximize my golf rounds?

We strongly recommend renting a car for your Moray golf trip; public transport is limited and won't give you the flexibility you need to explore. The courses are spread out enough that driving yourself is essential for convenience and to truly experience the region's diverse offerings. Plus, it makes those post-round distillery visits much easier!
