Golfers will appreciate the challenges of Lossiemouth's two courses - the championship Old Course , designed by Old Tom Morris and established in 1889, has a par 71 and SSS 73. The 'New' course opened in 1979 and was created by expanding an original 9-holes into 18 (incorporating some of Henry Cottons design following his visit here in the early 1970's). It carries a par 69 and SSS 69 and although laid out on the same terrain as the Old Course is a different challenge featuring fewer bunkers but smaller greens. We have storage and drying facilities for clubs etc and transport is not necessary for those playing at Lossie as we overlook the 18th green of Moray Old. Links Lodge was formerly known as Ivy Cottage and was the original Clubhouse for Moray Golf Club for 2 years as plans were drawn up for the proposed links in 1889.
