Characteristics
Established in 1898 and renowned as a classic James Braid design, the Boat of Garten Golf & Tennis Club offers a quintessential Highland experience. The 18-hole course presents a challenging blend of heathland and moorland, with fairways winding through birch trees, heather, and broom. Located along the River Spey with views of the Cairngorm Mountains, the setting is enhanced by the Strathspey Steam Railway running alongside the course. The clubhouse provides dining with panoramic views.

An old parkland classic that just can't keep up with its neighbor Spey Valley!
The old design is nice, as is the location, but the maintenance could have been better...!
I still give the old parkland classic with a lot of charm just under 4 stars.

The greens were playable in the usual way in September without any problems, even if the repair work of the spring (damage due to rapid succession of frost and thaw periods, according to the club) was still visible on a few greens. However, this does not change the fact that the course is more than average due to its design and character (enough has already been written about this) and thus also deserves the overall rating "Good".

No more than average currently
Reviewed June 27, 2022
Basically, as described, this is a beautifully inserted older place into the landscape. A few holes are, well, "special". The greens, which had to be repaired frequently and in quite a few places, are currently giving little pleasure. Of course, the place also lives from history, but if you apply the same standards everywhere, it is currently only enough for an average rating.
