Dufftown Golf Club

Moray, United Kingdom

Dufftown Golf Club is an 18-hole course set in the heart of Speyside's malt whisky country in Banffshire, Scotland. The course measures 5,343 yards with a par of 68, featuring undulating terrain that creates different playing tactics on every hole with scenic views from each fairway. Notable characteristics include the 9th tee, one of the highest in the UK at 1,200 feet above sea level, and the dramatic 10th hole featuring a 339-foot vertical drop from tee to green with magnificent views of the town. Two holes—the 7th and 10th—are featured in "Britain's 100 Extraordinary Golf Holes" by Geoff Harvey and Vanessa Strowger, reflecting their distinctive character within Scottish golf. The course is situated in breathtaking Banffshire scenery typical of the Speyside region, offering a challenging but visually rewarding golfing experience. The varied elevation changes and natural landscape provide substantial difficulty despite the modest yardage, while the setting attracts regular visitors seeking golf within a beautiful Scottish highland environment.
