Braemar Golf Club

Overview: Situated deep in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park, Braemar Golf Club proudly holds the title of the highest 18-hole golf course in Scotland. The layout is a par 65, measuring roughly 5,000 yards, and offers a truly unique, alpine golfing experience. The course navigates through rolling moorland terrain, bisected by the tumbling waters of the Clunie Water, and provides awe-inspiring, 360-degree mountain scenery. Braemar requires accuracy and an appreciation for dramatic, uneven lies, ensuring an exceptionally memorable round in one of the country’s most arresting natural environments.

Did You Know? Due to its astonishing elevation (nearly 1,200 feet above sea level), the ball naturally travels farther in the thinner mountain air. The course's proximity to the royal residence at Balmoral makes it a key fixture of the historic sporting culture in the Grampians.
