Newtonmore Golf Club, Grampian in Scotland

Set amongst the Monadhliath Hills and the Grampian Range, Newtonmore
Golf Club lies at the southern end of Badenoch. The golf course follows
the contours of the River Spey, which meanders slowly by and in doing
so defines the layout of the course. It was originally built over nine
holes but subsequently extended in 1906 by James Braid. By using the elements
available to him Mr Braid set out the course in such a way that a golfer
could sample the natural beauty of his surroundings and also appreciate
the challenge presented by each of the eighteen holes.
In recent years Newtonmore has undergone a myriad of improvements, including
the introduction of an irrigation system and the lengthening of the course
to in excess of 6000 yards. In 1996 the club was Highly Commended for
its conservation policy which was established in conjunction with Scottish
National Heritage. Visitor facilities have also improved in tandem with
course developments and a warm Highland welcome is assured in the spacious
clubhouse.
