Moray Golf Club (New Course), Lossiemouth

Moray Golf Club at Lossiemouth runs two courses — the Old Course (1889, Old Tom Morris) and the New Course (1979, Henry Cotton). The New is the secondary layout, designed to give the membership a second 18-hole option when the Old Course was busy. Cotton, at 73 when he designed it, produced a course that reflects his era: wider fairways than the Morris original, less emphasis on ground game, and a more forgiving approach to rough.

Par 69, around 6,000 yards. The New Course occupies the lower-lying ground between the Old Course and the town, using the Lossie estuary as a boundary on several holes. Less dramatic than the Old in terms of coastal exposure, but a perfectly respectable links round with views of the Moray Firth and the town of Burghead across the bay.

Green fee is £45–60, lower than the Old Course rate. The combination ticket (Old Course + New Course on the same day) is the most efficient way to play both — around £105 for two full rounds on two separate links layouts at the same address, sharing one car park and one excellent club bar. For visitors making the Moray Firth coastal journey, playing both Moray courses alongside a Cullen or Nairn round creates a strong three-day programme.
