Frequently Asked Questions
Which course should I play at Moray Golf Club, the Old or the New?
If you're only playing one round, the Old Course is the clear choice for its history and classic links feel. Designed by Old Tom Morris, it offers that truly authentic Scottish links experience you're likely chasing, with more dramatic dunes and strategic bunkering. The New Course is a solid, enjoyable track, but the Old is where the real magic happens.
What's the best time of year to play Moray Golf Club, and what weather should I expect?
We always recommend late spring to early autumn- May through September- for the best chance of decent weather, though this is Scotland, so be prepared for anything. Expect wind to be a constant companion, especially on the exposed coastal holes, so pack layers and practice your low punch shot. The course drains incredibly well, so even after rain, it's usually playable.
Is Moray Golf Club a good value compared to other Scottish links, and what are the typical green fees?
Moray Golf Club offers fantastic value, especially when you compare it to the green fees at some of Scotland's more famous links. You're getting a genuine Old Tom Morris design on the Old Course for a fraction of the price, making it a smart addition to any golf trip budget. Green fees typically range from £70-£120 depending on the season and course, which is excellent for the quality.
What are the must-play holes or unique challenges I should look out for on Moray's Old Course?
On the Old Course, the par-3 6th, famously known as 'The Tiger,' is a standout- a challenging short hole where club selection is everything. Also, don't overlook the closing stretch, particularly the 17th and 18th, which demand precision and reward smart play, especially when the wind is up. You'll find plenty of gorse and strategically placed bunkers ready to catch errant shots.
Beyond the golf, what's the vibe like at Moray Golf Club and in Lossiemouth itself?
The vibe at Moray is wonderfully unpretentious and welcoming; it's a proper members' club that's happy to host visitors without any fuss. Lossiemouth itself is a charming coastal town, perfect for a relaxed evening pint after your round, offering a true taste of local Scottish life away from the tourist crowds. You'll find friendly faces and stunning views over the Moray Firth.
