Moray is a classic links course in Lossiemouth, about an hour east of Inverness on the Moray Firth. There's two 18 hole championship golf courses at Moray, the Old Course is a links layout designed by Old Tom Morris with deep revetted bunkers, undulating gorse lined fairways and smooth fast greens with a number of holes routed along the coastline. Usual links golf conditions, wind's always in play, a very stout course with seven par fours over 400 yards. Like St. Andrews, it's starts and finishes in the small town of Lossiemouth. The New course, opened in the late 1970's, was designed by Henry Cotton and is a bit short and tighter than the Old, and is a good challenge as well, but if you only have time for one round, play the Old

Played the Moray Old and the New. Both courses very different, the new short and narrow, the old wide and majestic. Best of it, sitting outside the clubhouse with a pint in your hand, watching the fellows climbing up the 18th (great hole), with both courses, the beach and the lighthouse in the backdrop.
