Alvey House - superb golfing right on your doorstep

Main Page | Walking | Skiing

One very popular reason for staying at Alvey House is that it is a golfer's paradise. Imagine a 50 yard stroll to the first tee of one of the most picturesque golf courses in Scotland. Having played as much golf as you can handle, you return to a sumptuous four course meal and a roaring log fire to reflect on the day’s play with friends.

Newtonmore Golf Course, established in 1893 is set in the picturesque Spey Valley in the heart of the Highlands. The backdrop to the course offers spectacular views of the Cairngorm, Grampian and Monolaith Mountains giving an all round panorama. The course is a protected botanical and wild life reserve, home to rare birds and a unique floral display of wild orchids.

Newtonmore is very popular with groups and societies that travel from all over the UK to enjoy its flat fairways and quality green keeping. The course appeals to older golfers as it is less physically demanding than most Scottish courses.

Although predominantly flat, clever course design, strategic tree placement and hazardous rough can all create a test for the keenest of golfers. The splendidly maintained fairways and greens will succumb to the accurate and steady player where length is not often a pre-requisite.

The Club house is warm and friendly and is the social centre of Newtonmore Village. It offers excellent food/lunchtime snacks and a well stocked bar with pool table and TV. There is always entertainment in the evenings with live bands and traditional music.
