A Brief History of Moray Golf Club
Founded in 1889, Moray Golf Club was initially established with only nine holes. Over the years, the club has undergone several transformations, including adding another nine holes to its offering in 1906. In 1979, the club finally achieved its current layout with the completion of the New Course. The club is still a favourite hangout for golfers from all around the world today.
Course Design at Golf Club Moray
Moray Club has two courses: the Old Course and the New Course. The Old Course, which was originally designed by Old Tom Morris, features classic links-style golf with natural dunes and gorse-lined fairways. The New Course, on the other hand, was designed by Henry Cotton and features a more modern layout with larger greens and a more open parkland style. Both courses provide an enjoyable challenge for golfers of all levels.
Old Course:
The Old Course at Moray Golf Club is a traditional links course that was designed by Old Tom Morris and opened for play in 1889. The course has a par of 71 and measures 6,592 yards from the back tees. It features natural undulating fairways and is surrounded by sand dunes and gorse bushes. The course has a number of blind shots and tricky greens, making it a true test of golfing skill. One of the most notable holes on the course is the par-4 11th, which requires a blind tee shot over a large dune before making the approach to the green.
New Course:
The New Course at Moray Golf Club was designed by Henry Cotton and opened for play in 1979. It is a more modern course than the Old Course, with wider fairways and fewer blind shots. The course has a par of 70 and measures 6,068 yards from the back tees. It is surrounded by trees and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The course features a number of challenging holes, including 2 par-5s on the 3rd and 14th holes, which have a slight dogleg to the left.
