About
Insch Golf brings a colorful past, incredible scenery and challenging play to the booming Scotland golf scene. Originally built before World War I, the golf course was used as a grenade range and golf disappeared from the quaint town of Insch until its triumphant return in 1982.
In 1997, Insch was transformed into an 18-hole run, and a new, modern clubhouse has helped make it one of the hidden gems in Aberdeenshire. Playing to more than 5,000 yards from the back tees with a par of 69, Insch is a parkland course where accuracy and course management are a must for players looking to mark down low scores.
Set between the peaks of Bennachie and Dunnideer, in the picturesque village of Insch - just a 40-minute drive from Aberdden - Insch Golf Club is conveniently located near such golf powerhouses as St. Andrews, Cruden Bay and Royal Dornoch.

Golfing
A lovely place to play golf with very friendly staff potty about the greens not at there best just now but all in all a nice day out.
Good sunday
A very nice place to play golf with friendly staff and a very good kitchen
Great course, well presented
good condition for time of year, bar staff very friendly
Interesting and quirky
Enjoyable day out. Challenging but not too taxing. Course generally well presented although greens were mossy in places. A course that makes you think as you go to select the right shots.
Lovely place to play
Warm and friendly place to play a bit slow with the pace of play due to a Texas scramble but otherwise very enjoyable
Inch Golf Course needs improvements
Had a fantastic round at Inch, but would have been better if we were made aware that some holes had already moved to winter green and even the greens that were in play mostly front nine were like playing at the beach.
Only 5 greens in use
Booked this course as an alternative to the courses in and around Aberdeen. Booked the hot deal and glad we did, as only 5 of the greens were in use. The rest all had a flag in the fairway around 20-30 short of the greens, not even winter greens marked out. This was not detailed at the time of booking, and wouldn't be expected in mid-September after a week of dry weather. I was relieved we hadn't paid the full price.
There was nobody in the club house to book us in or keep us right.
The course was otherwise beautiful, and would have made for an excellent round. It was just a shame we weren't advised at the time of booking.
GREAT ROUND
We stay 30 miles from this course and had never heard of it till a couple of weeks ago,what a find. The course was immaculate and perfect length for us to keep the big numbers off the card.
Good advert for golf in the Highlands
We had a most enjoyable day for our first visit to Insch Golf Club. Great scenery and course layout. The course was in excellent condition despite the maintenance challenges all clubs have been facing as a consequence of the recent lockdown. We were sorry that, due to our time pressure we were unable to sample the catering. We will definitely return for another visit next time we are in the area.
Would happily play again
Great value. Neat, tidy and well kept course. Lovely views and quiet. Some really interesting holes.
Lovely day
Only my second time at Insch. Course in good condition. Fairways were fantastic. Not a long course but you certainly need to keep the ball on the short stuff. Some really good short par 4s. Greens were a wee bit on the slow side but in very good condition. Staff were very friendly in the clubhouse.
I had never been to Insch before and really enjoyed it. Cracking wee course in very good condition. Some memorable holes. Not a long course but well bunkered. Very friendly and welcoming in the clubhouse.
Great parkland course
This is the 2nd time I played this course and it was as good as I remembered. Very nice layout but I don't like the way the net on the second hole interferes with your drive, think it could be placed a little more to the left, but thats a minor grumble as I'm a left to right player. Each hole is different and quirky with no straight up and down the fairway holes. Staff in the clubhouse are very friendly and the facilities great. If I lived in three area I would definitely take out a membership.
Good challenge in beatiful location
Don't be fooled by the length of this course. It proves to be a tricky challenge where accuracy off the tee is rewarded. Greens are undulating and never straightforward. The setting is stunning especially around 10th and 11th holes. Course is kept in very good condition. Best course in inland North East in my opinion after Kemnay.
Friendly and welcoming clubhouse.
