How good is this!
We have had the pleasure of hosting many influencers with some great reviews including this by The Average Golfer.
“Oh my God! How good is this. The design, the layout. Every time you get to a tee box. It’s so impressive.”

The Forres 5-Day
The Forres 5-Day Open has long held its place as one of the most cherished events in the North of Scotland’s golfing calendar. Over the years, it has earned a reputation for its warm atmosphere, competitive spirit, and loyal following.
Many who once lived in the area return annually, while newcomers often find themselves hooked—coming back year after year with friends in tow. Regular groups now travel from as far afield as Dundee, Glasgow, and Newcastle to be part of the experience.
Our current champion is our very own Ross Proctor. Ross was victorious against Mark Jones in the final of the Grant Cup, a battle of two previous winners.
