Carrbridge Golf
Club was formed in 1980 but there has been a Golf Course
on this site for many years.
The course has been moulded around the natural contours of the land and
so offers few man made hazards.
Burns abound and there is water somewhere on every hole.
The course rises to about 1000 feet to present excellent views of the
Cairngorm Mountains.

Golf has been
played at Kingussie since 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 course is still very much as it was - Highland Golf at its very
best ! Indeed, Kingussie offers exceptional quality and prides its value-for-
money reputation.
