Designed by one of the grand-masters of golf course architecture, James Braid "The Boat" is set alongside the River Spey in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park. Although difficult to choose from several great holes, the 6th (The Avenue) is often regarded as the course's 'signature' hole. A good drive down the narrow tree-lined dogleg fairway leaves a mid-iron approach shot to the plateau green, which is guarded by bunkers to the left and right. As on every hole at Boat of Garten, accuracy is rewarded but beware the wayward driver!

Ever popular with visitors from both home and abroad, the Course has become firmly established as a "must" for golfers, whether enjoying a golfing tour of the Highlands of just playing one or two rounds in the North of Scotland. The attractive surroundings of the Cairngorm Mountains, with such distinctive features as the Lairig Ghru and the northern corries of Braeriach, provide a wonderful backdrop to this unique course.

The Clubhouse offers a warm and friendly welcome and a high standard of catering to the visitor. The Club's PGA Professional, Ross Harrower, not only provides tuition but also keeps a well-stocked golf shop offering golf equipment and clothing, plus club repairs, club hire and occasionally a tip or two on how to play the Course!
