Club was formed in 1889, although it is known that golf was
played on open land adjacent to the present courses a number
of years before that.
Situated
on the southern shores of the Moray of Firth, in a remarkably
favourable climate. It is not unusual for golf to be played
every day of the year. In recent years the club has played
host to many championship, both amateur and professional,
and numerous 'stars' from the professional world have visited
the course, before playing in the open. Moreover HRH The Duke
of York has been a regular visitor.
The
championship course has long been regarded as an excellent
example of a traditional Scottish golf links, and like numerous
links course in Scotland (notably St Andrews), the course
starts and finishes within the town boundaries, and form the
majority of the course excellent views across the Moray of
Firth prevail.
Seaside
links, with gorse-lined fairways, deep revetted bunkers and
grass covered dunes along coastline was designed by Tom Morris.
The rolling links is easy going on the legs and would suit
all ages. There are also tees available for every calibre
of golfer. It has been known for golf to be played all year
round because of the excellent climate, the Moray Coast can
boast. The course layout uses all the points of the compass
with each hole having its own identity.
