Dalmunzie Golf Club is a short golf blog post that looks at one of the highest 9-hole golf courses in the UK. When we think of classic Scottish golf, our minds naturally drift to the windswept links of the coast. But if you venture deep into the heart of Perthshire, nestled inside the southern edge of the Cairngorms National Park, you’ll find a completely different kind of golfing magic. Dalmunzie Golf Club is one of the highest golf courses in Great Britain. Tucked away at the Spittal of Glenshee, this breathtaking 9-hole layout offers an experience that is as rich in history as it is spectacular in views.
Spey Valley Golf is a short golf blog post that takes a look at one of the greatest hidden gems, found in Scotland. When planning a Scottish golf itinerary, the pull of the coast is undeniable. Golfers flock naturally to the iconic links of Fife, East Lothian, or the brilliant stretches up north near Dornoch and Nairn. But if you pack up your clubs and bypass the Highlands without pulling off the A9 at Aviemore, you are missing out on one of the most spectacular, sprawling modern masterpieces in the country: Spey Valley Championship Golf Course.
The Best Par 3 Opening Holes is a short golf blog post that looks at some of the toughest, shortest opening holes in golf. There is a distinct kind of nervous energy that only a first tee box can produce. Most of the time, you're standing up there with a driver in hand, looking down a sweeping fairway, knowing you have at least a little bit of margin for error. But opening your round with a par 3? That is an entirely different mental game. There is no "warming up into the round" with a loose tee shot. You are cold, your swing isn't locked in yet, and you are immediately asked to carry hazards, judge precise wind, and find a target from your very first swing. While it is one of the rarest architecture choices in the game, the UK holds some of the absolute best, most intimidating, and most beautiful opening par 3s in the world.
