Established in 1898 and designed by one of the grand-masters
of golf course architecture - James Braid, "The Boat" is not only a demanding
test of sporting skill but also a magnificent setting for the game.
The view from the clubhouse, over the 1st and 2nd fairways
and beyond, to the Cairngorm mountains - with such distinctive features as the
Lairig Ghru and the northern corries of Braeriach - is incomparable, certainly
within the realms of Scottish golf.
This Highland grandeur, depending on the day, can inspire
high achievement or, in the more common event of disappointing performance, affords
the comfort and consolation of communing with nature in uniquely attractive surroundings.
Popular with visitors, from both home and abroad, the course has become firmly
established as a "must" for those enjoying a golfing tour of the Scottish Highlands.
