Golf in Moray

Located just off the A96 and surrounded by rolling countryside, Forres Golf Club is a scenic, accessible parkland course in Moray Speyside that offers much more than meets the eye. With a heritage stretching back to 1889 and a layout influenced by Willie Park Jr. and James Braid, Forres delivers a high-quality experience that has seen it host several prestigious competitions over the years.

The course was relocated to its current site in 1912 and redesigned by two of golf’s most respected figures. In the decades since, Forres has grown into one of the region’s standout inland venues—so much so that it has hosted professional events including the Scottish Professional Championship and PGA Northern Open, confirming its credentials as a championship-level golf course.

Measuring around 6,200 yards, Forres features mature tree-lined fairways, elevated tees, and sloping greens that demand accuracy and thoughtful strategy. Signature holes include the long, downhill 10th and the challenging 16th—a strong par 4 framed by towering trees and a narrowing approach. The course is also known for its excellent year-round condition and playability.

The welcoming clubhouse offers excellent visitor facilities, including dining, a pro shop, and spacious locker rooms. The town of Forres is one of the oldest in Scotland, offering access to local heritage sites, distilleries, and the wider Moray Speyside region.
