With the River Spey flowing alongside, and the heather blooming around the silver birch forest, there are few more beautiful places to enjoy a round of golf. However, this is not merely a pleasant stroll; James Braid has used his considerable skill to manipulate the remarkable setting into a tight, challenging proposition. The course features birch tree-lined and rolling fairways winding through the Scottish highlands.

Long it is not, but the subtleties instilled by its creator make accuracy more important than brawn, and ensure that Boat of Garten is thoroughly enjoyable to all those who visit.

Experience a slice of history with a trip on the Strathspey Steam Railway, running from Boat of Garten to the bustling village of Aviemore.
