Newtonmore Golf Club

Newtonmore Golf Club sits at the southern end of the Strathspey valley — the same Highland corridor as Boat of Garten and Grantown-on-Spey, but 40 miles further south where Strathspey narrows to the Drumochter Pass approach. The course is a highland heathland of 5,890 yards, par 70, on the flat glacial floor of the valley with the Cairngorm massif rising on the eastern skyline.

Founded 1893, the course has the unhurried character of Highland village golf at its most genuine — a layout that serves the local shinty and golf community of Newtonmore and Kingussie, with visitor access welcomed as a practical part of the club's income without being the primary purpose. The 11th, played along the River Spey bank, is the most scenic hole.

Green fee is £30–40. The Strathspey sequence — Boat of Garten, Grantown, Newtonmore — represents three contrasting highland heathland courses across 40 miles of one of Scotland's most beautiful valleys. All three have green fees under £75; all three have Cairngorm views; all three are open to visitors without a handicap certificate. For a budget Highland golf week, this corridor is the best value in the north.
