Links Golf in Moray
If your ideal golf trip includes sea air, firm turf and courses shaped by the natural coastal landscape, links golf in Moray is likely to be one of the main reasons to visit.
The region is home to some of the most memorable coastal golf in north east Scotland, with rounds that combine views of the Moray Firth, exposed golfing ground and the kind of atmosphere many visitors come to Scotland to experience.
Why Play Links Golf in Moray
One of the strengths of Moray is that its links golf feels varied rather than repetitive. Some courses sit close to towns and established golf clubs, while others feel more hidden, exposed or informal. Together, they help create a golf trip that feels rooted in the coast and shaped by the landscape.
For many visitors, this is the golf that defines the region.
