The Course
The Kingussie golf course offers moderately easy walking
on upland terrain, with a few short climbs at the 4th and
8th holes. In general the fairways are of a generous nature,
but the course is deceptive and position off the tee is an
important consideration, a factor often the key to low scoring.
The course is kept in immaculate order and offers excellent
greens and fairways. Overall, the course provides an excellent
test of shot making, and is suited to all levels of ability.
With a standard scratch of 67 (yellow) - 68 (white) and 73
- (red - ladies) the course, while not long, offers a challenging
but fair test of golf. The signature hole on the course is
the 4th - while only some 475 yards in length (par 5), it
is a deceptively difficult hole. Indeed, the general consensus
amongst members is to play conservative golf for the first
4 holes - and once these holes are passed with a score to
handicap intact, you may relax and enjoy!
