The New Spey Valley Championship Course

The new Aviemore Spey Valley golf course is situated close to the old Dalfaber golf course, Aviemore. With a
spectacular backdrop of the Cairngorm Mountains, and the relaxing sound of the flowing River Spey, the Spey

Valley Highland course is a sure winner.

 

     

The 18-hole par 72 Spey Valley Golf Course is really 4 golf courses in one. Meandering through the trees along the banks of the sparkling River Spey, it covers 7,153 yards of heathland, woodland, links and inland terrain.

The signature hole is the 5th, officially the longest hole in Scotland at 635 yards (par 5), however several others

deserve a mention for their natural beauty. The 6th spans a lake which has been adopted as a nesting site by a bird colony.

 

The golf course was designed by renowned golf course designer Dave Thomas, who designed amongst others La Manga 3 in Spain, Seve Ballesteros Golf Club in Japan and Pria de Frade Golf Club in Brazil. Dave Thomas, refers to Spey Valley as the potential jewel in his crown. Its challenging aspects and unique environment make the course an ideal venue for high-profile tournaments and charity fundraisers.

     

When you reach the 12th at the start of the home stretch, the Spey Valley opens up before you like a film set, while the 16th presents a real challenge for even the most experienced golfer. You'll need a long, accurate tee shot to carry the water hazard and the flowering purple heather awaits to punish a poor shot. However, the most spectacular of all has to be the 18th, with its two bunkers designed to mirror the undulating corries of the mountains beyond. 

You are in for a treat at the new Spey Valley Championship Golf Course, recently voted one of the best in Scotland by the Top 100 Golf Courses of the World. Spey Valley boasts some of the most breathtaking views in the world.
