Are there any signature holes or unique features I should look out for at Kinloss?

Definitely keep an eye out for the par-3 7th hole, affectionately known as 'The Estuary View.' It's not just about the stunning vista over the Moray Firth; the elevated tee shot over a gully to a well-guarded green is a real test of nerve and club selection.

Not at all- Kinloss Golf Course is fully open to the public, and booking a tee time is quite straightforward for visitors. While it has historical ties to the RAF base, you'll find a warm welcome for all golfers, though we always recommend calling ahead for weekend play.
