Course Details
| Course Name: Braemar Holes: 18 Yardage: 4916 SSS: 65 |
| Braemar Golf Club is Scotland's highest 18 hole course but it is easy walking. Situated at the foot of Glenclunie, the River Clunie splits the course into two, with water playing a large part in 12 of the 18 holes. As a par 65 it makes an ideal holiday course, with each of the par threes being completely different in style, from the 103 yard, 6th to the near impossible 2, 4, 5, 10, 17th. The second hole is the signature hole. At 69 yds it sounds short, but the fairway lies between heavy rough and the river Clunie, the second shot is to a large elevated green that makes the hole much longer than it looks. For an appreciation and independent view of this course please see golfer reviews.

Just a short note to thank all concerned in making our 2010 visit a great success. For any club wishing to have a few days away, you will not find a more friendly welcome in one of the most spectacular locations anywhere. Our club have travelled to Breamar nine times since 1994 and Breamar have travelled to Stinchcombe similar numbers, and in true golfing fashion long lasting friendships have been developed and long may they continue. Special thanks to Captain Mike and his team for allowing us a few wins thus avoiding a whitewash.

Being a member for nearly four years now and i can safly say there is not a better golf course that i have played. I have played the likes of St Andrews and Kingsbarns and beleive that Braemar has a more uplifting effect.
There is no place like it!!!!!!!!

As the UK's highest 18 hole course, this truly is a tranquil setting whilst offering high quality facilities.
As a loyal member for in excess of 10 years, I have introduced many newcomers and visitors and have yet to encounter anybody who has been disappointed.
Do come and visit our special course in the hills.

Braemar is a course which gives one the ability to play good golf when the weather allows, and terrible golf when it doesn't. It combines tough par 3's with near impossible par 4's along with holes that can inspire confidence. The 2nd remains one of my favourite holes in world golf, bringing the Clunie into play every time as the wind is always blowing from left to right. On this hole you can shoot 4 or 14 and it really can
make the difference between staying on the course and going for a drink in one of the friendliest clubhouses in Great Britain! The course may be short, but underestimate it at your peril.
