Fort Augustus Golf Club

About Fort Augustus Golf Club

Nestled in the heart of the Great Glen, Fort Augustus Golf Club is a true Highland treasure. This 9-hole moorland course, perched near the banks of the Caledonian Canal and just a stone’s throw from the legendary Loch Ness, offers an unforgettable golfing experience steeped in history and natural beauty. Designed in 1924 by celebrated architect Harry Shapland Colt, the course is a testament to traditional Scottish golf, blending rugged landscapes with a thoughtful layout that challenges even the most seasoned players.

Renowned as one of Scotland’s most demanding 9-hole courses, Fort Augustus Golf Club is a test of precision and strategy. Narrow fairways bordered by heather and gorse, natural undulations, and clever dual-tee placements create an 18-hole feel in a compact setting. Despite its modest size, the course’s reputation as a par-67 feat of skill draws golfers from far and wide.

Beyond the game, visitors are rewarded with sweeping views of Highland peaks, serene glimpses of the canal, and an intimate, welcoming atmosphere. The cosy clubhouse, complete with a licensed bar, embodies the club’s relaxed charm, while the honesty box payment system reflects its unpretentious nature. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or simply seeking a unique stop amidst your Highland journey, Fort Augustus Golf Club promises a round you’ll never forget.
