A Celebration of Place, Course and Community
Golspie Golf Club is widely regarded as one of the Highlands’ standout courses. It’s known for memorable holes, coastal views and a warm welcome at the end of each round.
Golf has been played here since the late 19th century. But the course took on its enduring character in the 1920s, when renowned designer James Braid refined and shaped the layout. Completed in 1926, his work still defines how the course plays and feels today.
The James Braid Centenary Festival of Golf is about more than scorecards and results. It’s a celebration of a course, a community and a shared love of the game, set in a location that’s truly second to none.
