About
This is a visually pleasing undulating links course with a long beach on one side. Measuring 6,219 yards from the tips, Spey Bay Golf Club is a par 70.
Gorse and heather line the fairways here, and the beach creates a natural border on some holes - though it won't come into play unless you're completely wild off the tee.
No. 8 is Spey Bay Golf Club's signature hole. The small green sits atop a hillock, so you better be accurate or risk seeing your ball go tumbling down. This pretty much goes for all the holes at Spey Bay, which requires a thoughtful shot off the tee and a light touch around the greens.

Spey Bay May 2021
Lovely links course well worth the visit for anyone in Moray. The course is fairly forgiving with fairways that channel balls back in however the odd bad bounce could result in some interesting shots before you. Go even more errant and the whins or even the beach could be waiting for you. We had a lovely sunny day and it felt challenging, could be even more fun with a stronger wind!
Fan of everything Moray
We played it early May, and I thought the layout and selection of holes were excellent, the greens had been hollowtined, and dressed with sand, I would imagine the greens will be running true later in the summer, unfortunately for us the greens were very bumpy, and not running true!! It won’t stop me coming back a bit later in the year.
Beautiful course
Great course, managed to catch a day where there was no wind at all and made the links course amazing to play on.
Beautiful
Lovely course with great greens. Thoroughly enjoyed our day and will return

Nice course in beautiful setting right on the shoreline, greens had been hollow cored and nobody informed us so only downside but overhaul nice course.Tight for the wayward golfer.
perfect day
perfect day and perfect golf could only have been improved by better greens, but the work has to be done. 3 birdies and a near hole in one !

I have my played most courses in the area and this on is a real hidden gem. The course is great, the views stunning I would recommend all golfers to play this course.
Tight Links
Played Spey Bay with my wife yesterday as we toured the Moray coast golf courses. We are 7 & 25 h’caps. It was a pretty tight links course with undulating fairways from start to finish. The tees and fairways were in decent condition although the greens were quite slow, which for a seaside links was not what we were expecting. I played the white medal tees and found the course a good test of golf due to the five par 4s over 400 yards. All the par 3s were good, particularly the 8th with a narrow green that was near impossible to hold the green with a cross wind. The green keeper must have had some fun cutting the holes, with a few pins positioned on side slopes, although this added to the challenge. Would like to play again when greens are quicker.
