Golspie golf club
Unfortunately whenever I arrived the course was closed hopefully get a refund or credit note from golf now.
Great course
Played for the first time & loved it. Great layout & stunning views. Course was in good condition. Greens had been hollow tined but still good.
Great Golfing Experience
Our 4th visit to this excellent course. Gorgeous day, course in immaculate condition. It delivers on so many fronts, it’s a must - you will not be disappointed!
Nice mix of links and parkland
If you are looking for a course on the east coast of Scotland that offers a little variety then Golspie ticks the box. Half of the holes are traditional links with lovely coastal views. You then cross the road to play a few holes of parkland. The fairways are narrow enough to keep you focused on playing straight but do offer a little forgiveness with the rough being not too unforgiving.
If you are in the area playing neighbours such as Brora and Dornoch then Golspie offers an affordable option to meet your golfing needs.
The shop offers the opportunity to stock up, and we were met with a welcoming smile. The weather factored into our round with a gusty wind and a few showers which added to the challenge. You’ll enjoy the course of you choose to play it.
Top Marks
Had loads of fun at Golspie. Course was in immaculate condition and best greens I’ve seen all year even with all the heavy rain. Super layout with a mix of watery links and heathland/parkland course. Might be in my new top three.
Course was in excellent condition
Everything about this place was great. The only thing letting it down is the clubhouse permanently shut for food/drinks
Excellent course
Fantastic layout. Challenging but fair test of golf. Staff couldn’t be friendlier. Really enjoyable save for two fourballs in buggies ahead took 40 mins to do last 2 holes. However, don’t let this put you off as the course is well worth the visit.
Highland Gem
I had heard good things about this course and boy was it good. I loved it!! Beautiful setting on the links, great mix of holes, and in great condition. The staff and members were very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back.
Location
Fantastic location, beautiful scenery, great variety of challenging holes, tricky high quality greens, course in very good condition.

Golspie Golf Course
Course was in great condition. Interesting and enjoyable. Staff member was very helpful and friendly.
Overlooked gem of a golf course
I thoroughly enjoyed my round at Golspie with 2 of my golf mates. It is well worth the 1 hour drive from Inverness. As I remembered, the course was expertly maintained and the wind made it a challenge for us.
It is a real shame that this course is not busier. Possibly overlooked by golfers playing Dornoch and Brora.
I thoroughly recommend any golfer to venture to Golspie. It provides many different challenges. It starts off as a links course then has some heathland type holes followed by parkland holes. The last couple of holes are then more links type holes.
What a lovely course throughly enjoyed the experience from the lady in the shop to the guys I was going round with. The greens were fast, the fairways were in great condition. Love the contrast between the links and parkland and heathland. would highly recommend
Cracking little course
Great course, 1st 7 holes are links and develops into Heathland with lots of gorse and Heather. The yellow and purple frame the holes nicely and look great. Couple of drivable par 4's and reachable par 5's but trouble if you stray off line. Longer par 4's are a bit more open so it's a decent and fair test of golf. Greens roll true and are a fair pace, although some are very undulating and can be tricky if you're in the wrong spot. Good value on a hot deal, normal price is a little steep but comparative to other courses in the area.
Late November
And it was in immaculate condition. The course had not long opened when I arrived due to a hard frost. The winter sunshine shifted that aside from holes 9-11 which run through the woods. I was invited to play holes 1-3 again if I desired as recompense. The course is a blend of links and heathland with many interesting holes. I love it
Amazing
This is my new favourite course anywhere! Cannot find one flaw. Really is a special place.amazing!!
Part links, part forest, part field
Golspie is definitely worth adding to any Highlands golf trip. It's fun and adventurous with three completely distinct looks. It's got links holes, forest holes and holes sitting in a field that lack all definition. The run along the shore starting from the third hole is truly special. There's a whole bunch of great holes, including an incredible drivable short par 4, a tricky par 5 and a par 3 that turns inland to the forest. Bad weather forced me to miss a few holes so I'd love to come back to see what I can shoot on such a unique golf course.
Stunning course
Currently on a trip of the highlands, playind Golspie, Tain and Brora so far.
Golspie is a stunner with a mix of links and heathland where no two holes are similar, some stunning greens and amazing views.
When we checked in at pro shop we said we were 1.5hrs earlier and asked to go out early but was told no, checking our phones we could see there were 3 tee off times available between us arriving and our tee off. Yesterday at Brora it was different when we arrived they asked if we wanted out early told us to go have a warm up and get out on the course. Thats what I expect from a club
We waited and my friend had a bite to eat and claims its the worst lasagna he has eaten. My can of diet irn bru was perfect though.
Changing facilities is currently getting an upgrade so its a building site just now but cant fault for this as they are investing money and improving their club.
Overall stunning course just let down by the off course experience
