Great course and superb value Scratch golfer who has played nearly all the top courses but for a fun round on a proper golf course at a great price this is unbeatable. Course is interesting throughout and in super condition. So friendly and welcoming. Course wasn't busy so added to a great day. It is a must revisit for me ! Clubhouse - great atmosphere and a fine varied menu. David CambridgePosted on Tripadvisor![]()

A hidden gem of a golf course I am a regular visitor to the Newtonmore Golf Club, the reason I keep returning is that the course is always excellent, fairways are forgiving, greens in fantastic condition. Staff work tirelessly to ensure members and visitors enjoy the great game of golf. Further there is always a warm welcome for me and my friends from up north. This course is a hidden gem and I would highly recommend to any golfer.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Very scenic and a lovely course to play This is a lovely course in a great location due to the stunning scenery in this part of the world. The course itself was surprisingly flat and well laid although holes 3-16 on the other side of road could be a bit more varied in parts. We played from the white tees which certainly added some extra difficulty in about 1/3rd of the holes. The fairways are surprisingly lush for this time of year and the greens were very fair but could have been a bit more pacey given there are not many borrows to factor in. It’s also a James Braid course so the discount available is good and appreciated. The clubhouse contains The Apiary restaurant which is a friendly restaurant with a good set of choices on the menu. The staff were all friendly and helpful as were all the golf related staff we met. We very much enjoyed our visit and game so if you are ever visiting this area then you won’t be disappointed if you include this course in your itinerary.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Open event 2023 Played Newtonmore at the start of their 2023 Golf Open week. Book system no problem. Course in great condition for their open. Club officials and clubhouse staff very welcoming. Greens run true and scoring can be good just keep it on the fairway. Only disappointment was full open results not being made available once competition had finished but feedback and club said it would be considered for next event. Definitely worth a visit if in the area.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Great course and club We visited for breakfast, a round of golf and lunch. The course itself is in good nick and a little more forgiving if you hit the odd wayward shot. Food was god and the club could not have done more to make us feel welcome. I do feel that the club needs more business so do visit if you canPosted on Tripadvisor![]()

Great condition Staying in Newtonmore on holiday & visited the golf course today with my 9 year old daughter. We met a friendly & very helpful female member of staff who got us out on the course without issue - Thank you. Course was in great condition, right level of challenge for us & the scenic backdrops are fantastic. Great to be able to play golf on a course in such great condition especially at this time of year set among the snow covered hills.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Best value round ever! £14 for 18 holes and no winter greens, throw in Heather - the most engaging starter and you,be got a winning formula. Ok it was March but why did we have the course to ourselves? Is it really wort paying more than ten times as much for Castle Stewart up the road. This is club golf as it used to be and should be!! Thanks Newtonmore!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Newtonmore Golf Club is more than a visitor destination. It is also a friendly and active club for local golfers looking for regular play, competitions, and community.
We welcome:
If you’re looking for a club with a relaxed atmosphere, strong community spirit, and a course you’ll enjoy playing again and again, Newtonmore is well worth a closer look.
This perfectly manicured and well-kept Newtonmore parkland golf course, measuring 6031 yards, is a par 70 with challenging tee options. It started out with nine holes in 1893, but was extended to 18 in 1906.
Tee off at Newtonmore in the invigorating Highland air to encounter frequent changes in the direction of play, with the wind shifting from all directions as you play your round. As a recent independent assessment by Golf Insights stated: “There isn’t a hole that stands out, because they all stand out”.
Play the course and you’re bound to agree the layout is superb, making clever use of the landscape, with subtle greens and easy-walking fairways.
The course so impressed famous golf course architect James Braid and golf pro Sandy Herd when they played a match at Newtonmore that Braid described it as “excellent”, though he did come back to make some improvements to the course after World War I.
Today’s golfers particularly delight in the fact that the course is home to a rich variety of wild flowers, birds and wildlife – and you may even come across some placidly grazing local sheep in the cooler months.
The Newtonmore Golf Club has a full calendar of open competitions through the year, and a popular Golf Week in the first week of August, all enthusiastically celebrated at the hospitable Club House bar and restaurant by locals and visitors alike.
If you’re coming to play as a guest at Newtonmore rest assured there is plenty of comfortable accommodation in the village – ask about the available overnight stay packages and meal deals the Club has arranged with local hotels, bars and cafés.
There are also reciprocal deals to be had with other local courses – most notably nearby Kingussie Golf Club.
Membership fees and greens fees for Newtonmore Golf Club are extremely affordable, and you can book and pay for a tee time online without incurring a booking fee.
