Macdonald Aviemore Resort - Spey Valley Golf Course
With some of the best views in the world, the Spey Valley Championship Golf Course is a golfer's dream, with heather-lined fairways, riverside walks and the Cairngorm Mountains as a backdrop. Practise on the driving range, then hire a buggy and play one of the longest holes in Scotland. Corporate golf packages and tuition are available.
Special Features:
Golfers 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 and course designer, 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.
After a hearty breakfast you'll be welcomed at the golf check-in reception, where you can hire a buggy or enjoy the walk amongst the wildlife. Bring your binoculars to spot deer, red squirrels and osprey. Then tee off towards the mountains on the driving range and play late into the long summer evenings.

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.
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
