"The origins of Carrbridge
Golf Club are shrouded in the mists of time.
What is definite is that the Club was re-formed
in 1980 and is celebrating its 25th Anniversary
in 2005.
The National Golf Museum holds
records of the Club dating from 1905 and so
we can be reasonably sure that 2005 also gives
rise to a Centenary Celebration!
Further back, there is unsubstantiated
theory that the Club was actually formed in
1880, thus providing a third reason to celebrate
in 2005!
The course is kept superbly
by a dedicated green keeping team and offers
a challenge to all levels of golfer. The nine
greens often change in character as the game
progresses and so there is usually a different
challenge when circumnavigating for the back
half of a round.
In many cases, the competition
tees also present a different course from the
tees of the day for ordinary play. Carrbridge
is renowned for its Open competitions and so
visitors get plenty of opportunity to see the
different aspects that this gem of a nine-hole
course can offer. Many competitors return annually
including international visitors. Carrbridge
is now firmly established on the golfing map
as being one of the places to play.
Burns and ditches provide natural
hazards on all holes along with the lie of the
land and as much preservation of native flora
as can be afforded. Carefully positioned bunkers
give cause for thought when managing your way
around this delightful course.
The village of Carrbridge has
several hotels and Bed and Breakfast establishments
as well as the famous Landmark Visitor Centre.
Whilst there are plenty of other attractions
in and around it, Carrbridge is also ideally
placed for a base from which to travel around
Scotland – always assuming you can tear
yourself away once you have fallen in love with
Carrbridge Golf Club!
A hearty Highland welcome awaits
anyone, golfer or not, ready to visit and relax
in Carrbridge!"
Club facilities:
Since 1980 the Club has made
steady progress, particularly in recent years
with improvements to the Clubhouse (formerly
just a shed) and the course.
Being a small Highland course
lends Carrbridge the character it enjoys. The
Clubhouse is known affectionately as the tin
shed, thanks to its corrugated iron roof –
a common feature of dwellings in the Highlands
until recently.
However, it is a welcoming building
from which members and guests enjoy toilet and
(limited) changing facilities as well as a fully
functional tearoom offering all the usual administration
matters as well as wholesome sustenance for
golfers and non-golfers alike.
The clubhouse also houses a
small but well stocked golf shop and this year
in particular there will be Anniversary merchandise
available which might well become collectors
items in the future!
