Golf in Moray

Tucked away in the hills of Speyside whisky country, Dufftown Golf Club is one of the most dramatic inland courses in Moray Speyside. Set high above the town and surrounded by rolling hills and distilleries, the course is known for its elevated tees, breathtaking views, and true hidden-gem character.

Founded in 1897 and extended to 18 holes in 1994, the layout uses the natural contours of the land to full effect. While not long in distance, it’s a course that tests shot-making, creativity, and adaptability to elevation changes. Dufftown is famously home to one of the UK’s highest tees and lowest greens – most notably at the downhill 10th hole.

Several holes offer panoramic views across the Speyside region, with sightings of nearby whisky distilleries like Glenfiddich and Balvenie. The terrain is hilly but rewarding, with sloping fairways and greens that challenge your club selection throughout the round.

The clubhouse is informal and friendly, with light refreshments and great views over the course. Dufftown welcomes visitors and offers excellent value, especially for those seeking something off the beaten track.

Why Play Here: Dufftown combines whisky country scenery with a truly distinctive layout – ideal for adventurous golfers exploring Moray Speyside.
