About

Holes 18
Type
Par 67
Length 5501 yards
Slope 125
Rating 68.4

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.

A Highland Belter of a Course

I played here the day after after the club held an open competition. The course was in terrific condition with the fairways lush and soft, and the greens were quite quick and rolling very well.

The course is situated in a truly beautiful location, with the local mountains as the backdrop of several holes.

It's 5500 yds off the whites, but there are some very tight tee shots that gets you thinking about club selection. All of the par 3 greens are either elevated or below the tee, so club selection is important.

Clubhouse is lovely and the staff are very helpful.

A truly fabulous golf course that makes you glad you took up the game.

An all-time favourite course

Really wonderful course.

The setting was stunning, scenic, peaceful and quiet.

The clubhouse was cosy and accommodating.

The staff were exceptional and really go out of their way to personal the experience.

A hidden gem of Old Tom Morris and Harry Varden. Our fourball are absolutely delighted we decided to visit.

For the standard and condition of the course, I would expect to pay double or triple for comparables elsewhere.

Great course

Yet another Old Tom Morris course to be ticked off our list. Some wonderful holes which keep it very interesting. Pity about the rain for the first holes but that did not dampen our spirits. Glad we had a buggy since I would have had to carry and had some steep banks to climb. If you are near go play it its fabulous.

Worth a visit

Great course and lots of fun to play. Lots of variety and some quirky holes thrown in too. Very well maintained. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area, and worth a detour if not! If your golf isn’t up to it, then go along for the views anyway ;)

Fabulous course with a number of quirky holes.

Got caught behind a group of juveniles playing as a group of five who did not let me through. However when they went off the golf was brilliant ⛳️⛳️

Another great round of golf at Kingussie Golf Club

A fantastic and beautiful golf course with stunning views of the Cairngorms. The green were in excellent condition and so were the fairways. Very good tee boxes. Course is very well looked after. Very welcoming and friendly location. I can’t wait for a return trip.
