Course Name: New Moray Holes: 18 Yardage: 6004 SSS: 69

Sharing the same piece of land as the old course with some holes played within its boundaries, this course was designed by Henry Cotton. It also shares the same characteristic of having gorse winding fairways. The course was designed with every golfer in mind, young, old, high or low handicap. At the furthest reaches of the course is the 14th, a par 5, 512 yards long. The drive from an elevated tee back towards the town of Lossiemouth, is like the 14th at St Andrews. The fairway is in a shallow valley with gorse on either side. A deep-sided ditch some 80 yards short of the green is resting place of a miss-hit or misguided 2nd/3rd shot (depending on wind direction). press here for Moray Golf Club course reviews
