There is something special about a links golf course that starts and finishes in a town. St Andrews, North Berwick, Lahinch - to name but 3 - are all great examples.
The Old Course, known by many as ‘Lossie’, is set in the northern Scottish town of Lossiemouth. Our club is very much at the heart of the local community.
A true links golf course. The course was laid out by Old Tom Morris and he did a great job. No earth was moved, no dunes created.
Old Tom simply found the best spots for tee boxes and greens and mowed between them. The effect is one of the most ‘natural’ feeling links courses you will play.
While it’s not a long course, it’s no pushover either. The course has three par 3s, one par 5 and a good variety of par 4s. These range from the 463 yard second hole to the 252 yard tenth. Choose the back tees and it will stretch to a 6,671 par 71.
The course is a relatively traditional out and back course.
The finish is one of the very best in Scottish golf. The names of the holes are enough to whet the appetite - Sea, Short, Road, Long with the water all evident on the last few holes. .
The 18th. This hole has been voted the second best finishing hole in Scotland and, when you play it, is is easy to see why.
