Grantown-on-Spey, along with Elgin, Moray, Forres and Boat of Garten, is one of the 5 venues for the Speyside Golf Festival. The picture-perfect Speyside village of Grantown-on-Spey offers one of those delightful golf dalliances. It doesn’t really matter how well you play here, you’re really going to enjoy it! Grantown is simply gorgeous, a delight to the eye and a pleasure to amble over. The first half dozen holes are open and let you warm up. Cross the road to the 7th and it’s a different world, tree-lined and heathery with noticeable changes in elevation. Murdie’s View is the 9th; a 275-yard reachable Par 4. Many have a pop at the green from the panoramic high tee and only the fortunate few succeed. Grantown is effectively three courses in one with the closing few holes different again, providing a unique series of provocative challenges that really do ask some serious questions of your play. For this reason many feel this is the most exhilarating section. |
