About
Established in 1896, Dufftown Golf Club is a unique 18-hole golf course with an eclectic setting that makes it a popular stop for those looking to make the most of their Scotland golf vacation. Dufftown includes two holes that were included in the book "Britain's 100 Extraordinary Golf Holes." The No. 7 hole ranks as the shortest hole in the entire UK at just 64 yards, while the No. 10 hole is at an elevation of 1,213 feet with a magnificent views of the town of Speyside, and an elevated green that features a 339-foot drop from tee to green.
Aside from the breathtaking scenery that Dufftown presents, it is also a golf course in the heart of Scotland's infamous malt whiskey country, adding a particular flavor to both the golf and the area. Still, even with the scenic beauty and libation possibilities, it's the course that truly shines. Playing to nearly 6,000 yards from the back tees, Dufftown is laid out on an undulating track, meaning that the first two holes play uphill, leading to the rest of the course which sits up higher, offering outstanding views and thrilling golf holes.
With a keen staff, excellent conditioning and a unique atmosphere, you'll easily see why Dufftown is a popular stop for those looking for the best and brightest Scotland golf courses to test themselves.

A GEM OF A COURSE
Booked online 1pm played with my son who lives near. On arrival nobody to greet us, just an honest box to obtain score card and pencil . . noticed a couple of groups out on the course.
When finished no other cars around, club house closed so unable to get a drink.
The course was recommended and what a gem it is, although the recent very dry weather some greens are suffering.
hot calm day so no issues with the wind but I recon it could be quite a test. Stunning views with one of the highest holes in Scotland. Overall a very pleasant walk but a tough one with the elevation.
Definitely recommend
Very organised in good condition
Arrived was easy to get the buggy and play. Course in very good condition considering they don’t have permanent green staff. Quite hilly so we used a buggy. Would play it again. Met some nice people.
Special and unique place
I was a junior member here 30 years ago so it was nostalgic to return with my 12-year old son. Wonderful hospitality by the secretary/GM who welcomed us. The course is a unique highland golf experience. Loved the design improvements to #5 and #15 - very much enhanced the layout. A wonderful community club that is a great option for those visiting Speyside.
Great Day
The course has a fantastic feel to it—it really feels like you’ve got it all to yourself. The holes are moderately challenging, with several that are truly stunning, offering tremendous views throughout. The staff were very friendly, and the effort from the volunteers was excellent and much appreciated.
Poor Course Conditions
Played this course for the first time, left after 5 holes due to the poor condition of the course, greens were unplayable with all sorts on it i.e stones and barely any grass really not worth the £50 to play or the waste of fuel to get here
Lovely scenery!
Was up here on holiday and decided to play the course on a Monday morning. Got to the clubhouse early and there was no one about. I was able to play the whole course uninterrupted, which was great. The course was in good condition and the fairways were running well. The scenery is great with lovely views in places. It’s not the longest course, but you need to tactically work your way through it. The only bad point is the greens, they were shocking on the day I played. I know it’s been hot , so not sure what’s wrong with them, but they were literally unplayable. It’s a shame because it looks like a nice wee club, so they might not have the staff to keep it in trim. Nice wee place, but for me if the greens aren’t working what’s the point.
Nice Views But Sadly Poor Greens
Very scenic course and we enjoyed our visit. It’s hilly, but fun. Very disappointed in the condition of the greens though which were burnt and rutted by machinery. Balls didn’t roll well or true at all for this stage in the season and the greens were little better than Winter green standard unfortunately. Hopefully this will be sorted out as we’d like to play again now we are more familiar with the layout ! Plenty of buggies on hand for the less willing or able to tackle the gradients. Not a lot of people playing so we were able to take our time and take in the views as we went along. Tired by the end, but a few birdies to add to a fair amount of bogies will have us coming back for more !
Beautiful course with amazing views but slightly let down by the condition of the greens, had a great day on the course.
Nice course
Nice course, well kept and friendly staff member who booked me in. Views around the course are stunning.
Excellent course with lots of beautiful challenging holes & stunning scenery thrown in.
Excellent value course with lots of challenges along the way & stunning scenery thrown in.
Worth it for the 10th alone
Hope to re visit soon
Dufftown golf course
Very very hilly course some really fantastic holes especially the 10 th you definitely need to hire a buggy
Fantastic course
Great course with a fantastic lay out but it's extremely hilly but we all really enjoyed it. The par 3 7th was just fantastic and the view from the 10th is unreal..the staff are so friendly and helpful and (lindzi) was a delight.. wouldn't hesitate to play again
Dufftown Revisited
It's been 15 or so years sine I last played Dufftown, and boy hove the tree gotten bigger and the slopes gotten steaper..
It's a cracking wee course set on a picturesque hillside. Bring your hiking boots though as it is quite a climb to get to 8th Green / 9th Tee.
Course was in great nick, greens were very slow though.
We had a stunning day in really hot conditions with ver little breeze.
