Grantown-on-Spey Golf Club – A Unique Golfing Experience

Step back in time on one of Scotland’s hidden gems…In the heart of the Cairngorms National Park lies Grantown-on-Spey Golf Club, a stunning course with a forgotten story to tell.

Born just 400 yards from the first tee, Bobby Cruickshank went from a WWI prisoner of war to one of America’s greatest golfing legends. Now, his hometown course is honouring his legacy with the Bobby Cruickshank Hickory Experience – a unique opportunity to play the game as he did, using vintage hickory clubs from the 1920s and 30s.

Whether you’re a golf enthusiast, a history lover, or just looking for a truly immersive Highland experience, this is something special.
