Kingussie Golf Club
About
Kingussie Golf Club was established in 1891. In 1908, Kingussie sought the advice of Harry Vardon and extended the course to 18 holes. While some improvements and modifications have been made, the golf course is still very much as it was - Highland golf at its best.
Kingussie offers moderately easy walking on upland terrain, with a few short climbs at the fourth and eighth holes. In general, the fairways are of a generous nature, but the golf course is deceptive and position off the tee is an important consideration.
Kingussie Golf Club's signature hole is No. 4. Although only 475 yards long, the par-5 hole is deceptively difficult. It is the only par-5 hole on the 18-hole course, which measures 5,615 yards from the white tees. Par is 68.

Beautiful views
This course is a wee gem set in the heart of the cairngorms. It’s well maintained and the views are superlative. Very friendly staff. All in all a great day out
Stunning Location
Friendly welcome, stunning location and a challenging layout. Excellent value, course in great condition for October, greens just cored and sanded but did not detract from a highly enjoyable round in 20 degree october sunshine!
Lovely setting
Some great holes and fantastic views across to Cairngorm Mountains. Course was in very good condition and club has a nice friendly atmosphere. Definitely worth including in any trip to the area
Picture perfect
First time at this beautifully presented course. Almost every hole warranted a picture with mountain backdrops and generally stunning scenery. Particularly loved front 9 and although not a long course it was extremely enjoyable for my level of game. Tee boxes and greens in top condition as well as fairways being overall in good confirm considering dry summer. Certainly recommended for the golfer that likes a course layout that please the eye.
Varied and testing but very playable
A number of varied holes from long tree lined par 4’s to very short but testing par 3’s. Course was in excellent condition, greens ran true and some superb views of the surrounding mountains. A great test of golf and very enjoyable - you won’t be disappointed!
Still one of my all time favourite courses, simply stunning. See video !!!
Stunning scenery
Amazing layout
Immaculate condition
One of best in Scotland
Now played 3 times
See video of wildlife!
Amazing course and location
First time playing the course on a lovely summer evening. Course was in excellent condition. Lovely staff and friendly members. Almost alone with the deer on the back 9.
Hidden Highland gem...
What peach of a course this is!!
In fantastic condition, especially the (large!) greens.
Stunning views, although the weather had a hand with that.
Friendly helpful staff with an inviting clubhouse and bar.
Overall, a fabulous experience and will definitely include Kingussie Golf Course in a planned golfing trip with friends in the Autumn.
Great Course in a Beautiful setting
Great Course, in wonderful condition. Greens very true and surprisinglyquick given the recent weather.
Quite a physicaly tough course for an auld git walking the course, with one or two steep climbs, but not overlong.
Thoroughly recommend playing here, tremendous value for money.
Kingussie GC
Course in mainly good condition with consistent greens. The unusually hot weather in Scotland has seen some baked tees & greens but nothing to spoil an enjoyable round.
Good course with a few very tough holes
Really enjoyed our round of golf. No issues. All staff very friendly and helpful. Very tough section in the middle but overall a pleasure to play. And the setting is just superb
Love Kingussie
Spectacular views, great layout, challenging but not long, tricky but so much fun and the food after was great - very friendly warm welcome too.
Lovely course… some greens were not in the best condition, but entirely understandable given how early in the season it is.
The Off-course experience was very good, with the staff in golf shop/starter and Bar very attentive and friendly.
Overall, a really good experience and would definitely play again.
Kingussie - Great Value
Played Kingussie 28/03/25 - for time of year and location, course in good condition although wet but not unexpected due to amount of rain recently in the area. Great value at £20-looking forward to next time
Lovely day out
Course was a bit wet, but it had been raining!
Very quiet on the course.
We had an excellent round on a golf now hot deal so value for money was 5/5
Greens were good.
The staff and locals in the bar were very friendly and the roaring log fire was incredibly welcome!
