Spey Bay Golf Links & Hotel

Thoroughly agree with J.Oublier.We had a super day here on a very natural course,unspoilt by man--- an unpretentious course-- with crisp fairways,interesting holes with whins to punish the wayward shot but room enough to open the shoulders.Super views,peaceful,easy to get a tee-time--all in all a very pleasurable experience,despite the lack of off-course facilities,(which is of little real importance to real golfers?) and need of a bit of work on the bunkers. Enjoyed this much more than some of the more expensive neighbours and would recommend it greatly

This is a real,old fashioned links course that a true golfer is bound to enjoy.Lots of interesting and different holes,in a super setting.It does need a bit of loving care to bring it up to scratch ,but it well worth a visit.Crisp,natural shaped fairways,in a natural un spoilt-by-man setting----swathes of brilliant whins,views of the sea,and no problem to get a tee time.Very reasonable green fees make up for lack of other facilities.
We enjoyed this course a good deal more than other named,local courses we played on our little tour and look very much forward to going back.

Spey Bay is a fun links golf course that any golfer would enjoy. It's relatively short distance becomes distorted by the coastal breeze. This adds to the enjoyment and challenge of the course. The course is suitable for any standard of golfer although the gorse lined fairways will not favour the wayward shot. The scenery, greens and freedom of the course (I saw three other groups during my three hour round!) far outway the disappointment and lack of off-course facilities. I'd highly recommend a visit to this course and will play it again.

It's not a bad course but it just lacks something. Perhaps it's the lack of a club house at the 18th as the hotel is 300yards away. The course its self was a good test but the condition was not up to links standards. Still it was worth playing and it was reasonably cheap!

Spey Bay Links Golf Club is the lost jewel in the crown of Scottish links golf. This Ben Sayers course over the last year has much improved and continues to flourish under new management. The improvements to the course which I have witnessed over the past year are bringing this course back to life and a joy to play. No two holes are the same so boredom does not set in. The signature hole must be the eighth, 138 yard par three, depending on which way the wind is blowing will depend on whether you choose a pitching wedge or a three iron, just a fantastic hole. The best true Links in Moray. Play It!!

This is a delightful quiet 18 hole links course set out with a traditional 9 out and 9 back layout with the last 8 playing along the shoreline. The fairways were dry and undulating and the greens were true and firm which made you play proper links golf with loads of bumpa nd run shots. The course was very quiet for a weekend which made it even more enjoyable. We stayed at the superb Spey Bay hotel and saw the dolphins at the mouth of the spey during our stay. The hotel was run by some of the friendliest people you could wish to meet and they did eveything to make our stay enjoyable.

This course and its facilities have improved so much since change of ownership. I stayed in excellent accommodation, food and hospitality was outstanding. Perhaps K Chuck couldnt handle the test. Real links that all should enjoy.

There have been numerous improvements to this course and its on site Hotel and Golf lodges in the past 6 months the new owners are endeavouring to return it to its previous splendour. Now well worth a visit anytime of the year. A mini golf break is excellent value.

Hard work. Boring. Does not live up to its potential. Tiny greens. If you want links golf play Morray (Lossiemouth) Old or New they are infinitely better. Or try Hopeman.

None of the above hotels are within 10 miles of Fochabers, or within 15 miles of Spey Bay.
