Founded in 1906, Elgin Golf Club is a testing heathland course measuring 6401 yards with par of 69 and a standard scratch of 71, fully justifying its claim to be one of the finest inland courses in the northern part of Scotland. This course, a test to low and high handicap players alike, is always kept in immaculate condition by the greenstaff and, while playing one's round, there is the added beauty of the panoramic views looking north over the city of Elgin, and to the south, the hills stretching to the distant Cairngorm Mountains.
