A Beautiful Parkland Setting

Tranquil fairways, mature trees, and natural contours create a course where every hole feels unique — especially the iconic 16th and dramatic finish below the clubhouse.

Designed for Pure Enjoyment

From strategic par 4s to scenic scoring par 5s, the course offers fun, fairness, and variety for all abilities — highlighted by the unforgettable 16th risk-reward par 4.

About the Course

Forres is a classic parkland / woodland course with tree-lined fairways, open scoring holes and natural contours that reward smart play. The tighter front nine gives way to a more open back nine, finishing with the famous 16th over the Pond and a dramatic closing hole beneath the clubhouse.

The Muiry Woods are part of a larger area of historic Common Good land in Forres, now managed by the Forres Community Woodlands Trust for recreation and conservation. The area is also well known for the adjacent Forres Golf Club, which was originally established as the nine-hole Muiryshade Golf Course. Hence, The Muiry.
