“The Boat” is set alongside the River Spey in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park, only 10 minutes drive from the bustling village of Aviemore.   The course is not only renowned as a demanding test of sporting skill but also as a magnificent setting for the game. Braid’s design features 18 completely individual holes, cleverly and sensitively shaped fairways lined by birch trees, heather and broom, maximising the natural landscape and producing a beautiful and challenging course.

Many golfers are deceived by the length of the course. At 5837 yards the course is not long by modern standards however the real challenge is one of accuracy and shot visualisation. Very few visitors play to their handicap first time around. But many do return time and time again.
