Extra info
The 800 year old Royal Burgh of Forres can be found in the Highlands of Scotland nestled between the Moray Firth to the north and Farquhar Hills to the South. Forres is renowned for its magnificent floral displays and sculptures centered in the Grant Park. Situated within easy reach of the Cairngorms and Loch Ness along with the picturesque fishing villages and the Whisky and Castle Trails make Forres an ideal holiday destination.
Forres Golf Club celebrated its centenary year in 1989. The original 9 holes were designed by James Braid and in 1912 Willie Park was enlisted to construct the new layout to 18 holes. The course, which has hosted the Scottish Professional Championship, is remembered mostly for its spectacular views of surrounding countryside, its tree lined fairways and the infamous 16th hole, aptly named The Pond, provides a watery grave for many stray golf balls.
