Macdonald Spey Valley Championship Golf Course

A magnificent heathland course in the heart of the Cairngorm National Park, this Dave Thomas design championship course offers a fair, challenging test of golf combined with stunning mountain views. This course has staged the European Challenge Tour's Scottish Hydro Challenge since 2009 and has already established itself as one of Scotland's top inland courses. The course is a must-play venue for any golfer visiting the Highlands.

The Spey Valley Championship Golf Course combines the challenging aspects of the sport with the unique Highlands environment, making the course an ideal venue for high-profile golf tournaments and charity fundraisers. The golf course features beautiful scenery and unique wildlife including deer, red squirrels, and osprey. Not only have they been voted 'Most Picturesque Golf Course in the UK' they've also been awarded 'Scottish Highlands Golf Course of the Year 2018' by Your Golfer Magazine.

Spey Valley has an old-fashioned out and back routing and water comes into play along the way on several occasions. Holes are generally very open, though heather and gorse line many fairways and strategically placed trees are cunningly located on more than one fairway dogleg. Elevated tees are used at most holes and trademark Dave Thomas bunkering threatens at just about every conceivable opportunity off the tee and around the green.
