Founded in 1906, Elgin Golf Club is widely regarded as one of the finest inland courses in the North of Scotland. Measuring 6,458 yards with par of 71 and a Course Rating of 71.4 and a Slope Rating of 124 off the White Medal Tees, the challenging but fair course is a true test of low and high handicap players alike.

Situated in the heart of Moray and Speyside, the golf course is kept in immaculate condition by the green-staff and boasts stunning views over the town of Elgin and the Moray coast to the north and the hills stretching to the distant Cairngorm Mountains to the south.

The Hardhillock Bar and Bistro situated in the clubhouse provides full food and beverage facilities and you will receive a warm welcome from our friendly staff.

Visitors and groups are always welcome at Elgin Golf Club and there are a variety of corporate and individual Men, Ladies and Junior membership packages to suit everyone.

The course was extended to 18 holes in 1924, and golf at this time was so popular the membership rose to 711. The first club professional was appointed in 1934, and the longest serving by far was Ian Rodger who was in post for 27 years, retiring in March 2001.

Duffus Estate is the ideal base from which to enjoy a great Golf Break at Elgin Golf Club and explore Moray. They are located only 10 minutes from the golf course and are 5 minutes away from the miles of deserted sandy beaches of the Moray Firth, which time and again have been voted in the top 12 in the world by the prestigious National Geographic Society ‘Traveller’ magazine. You might even be lucky enough to spot a passing resident bottlenose dolphin or minke whale!
Choose from four cosy holiday homes on Duffus estate, The Cabin, Old Duffus Farmhouse, The Lodge and Kirktoun Cottage, or opt for the beautiful holiday apartment in the nearby coastal town of Lossiemouth.

The Cabin: The Cabin by the Castle is a cosy, solar powered eco-cabin with jaw-dropping views of Duffus Castle on Duffus Estate. With huge windows, sumptuous corner sofa and an uber luxurious cashmere duvet the Cabin by the Castle is as snug as it is bright. The Cabin has been designed with “coorie” (it’s the Scottish Hygge) and sustainability in mind. The living room, bedroom and modern kitchen all have stunning southerly views of Duffus Castle, whose ruins catch the light at sunrise and sunset spectacularly. You park right beside the cabin itself, let yourselves in and minutes later you’ll be settled in on the sofa, or rummaging through the welcome hamper to see what fantastic local produce you can snack on. When evening comes you can light the fire pit, perhaps relax with a dram and watch out for shooting stars in the night sky above the castle whilst you toast marshmallows – bliss!
