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.

Good
Reviewed September 23, 2022
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.

There is nothing to add to the reviews of previous years. Boat of Garten is unique and timeless. Be sure to play.

Great challenge for every game
Reviewed June 13, 2017
Boat of Garden offers a unique and varied golfing experience. The 18 tracks are practically all strongly ondulated and pull themselves up and down through the wooded Hochmoorlandschaft of the Highlands. A nice change and also supplement to the numerous Linkskurs here in Scotland. In addition, the green fee is exceptionally fair. A treat on every Highland golf trip.

Always a challenge - 9/16/2014

Also in this year, "The Boat" shown again why the place has long been one of the best in Scotland. The design by James Braid has not lost even after all these years of individuality and claim. The place is rough-edged and, therefore, does not allow recovery and punished inaccuracies immediately. Each hole requires full concentration and a planned approach. Who raises the challenge is sure to have a memorable day. Whether in a positive or negative everyone likes judge for yourself.

12.09.2013 - No place to relax
Reviewed September 12, 2013
A golf course with no ifs and buts of the landscape adapts. The tracks run in a constant up and down through birch and pine forests, this hard moguls, slopes and plateau greens, forgive any mistakes and of course the ubiquitous heather, which literally attracts the balls and swallows. And yet it's fun to play here. The place is exciting and requires the constant attention of the player. Tactical play is rewarded with good results, usually immediately punished arrogance. But no difference, anyone who gets involved with "The Boat", with wonderful views down to the River Spey Valley and indulged in the mountains of the Cairngorms. Then it may be relaxed once.

Challenging but fair
Reviewed September 12, 2012
The terrain is quite hilly, many fairways have a tendency, and if they do not, then there are hundreds of small peaks and troughs, hardly a flat piece of grass. The greens were 1A, hard and fast, thus additionally difficult because closely flanked without buffer zones.
Scenic ok, but not special, nice people and good infrastructure, cloakrooms with showers, restaurant.
