The Kingussie golf course

The Kingussie golf course offers moderately easy walking on upland terrain, with a few short climbs at the 4th and 8th holes. In general the fairways are of a generous nature, but the course is deceptive and position off the tee is an important consideration, a factor often the key to low scoring. The course is kept in immaculate order and offers excellent greens and fairways. Overall, the course provides an excellent test of shot making, and is suited to all levels of ability.

With a standard scratch of 67 (yellow) - 68 (white) and 73 - (red - ladies) the course, while not long, offers a challenging but fair test of golf. The signature hole on the course is the 4th - while only some 475 yards in length (par 5), it is a deceptively difficult hole. Indeed, the general consensus amongst members is to play conservative golf for the first 4 holes - and once these holes are passed with a score to handicap intact, you may relax and enjoy!
