Inverallochy Golf Club

Stunning views, complex green complexes and a smattering of holes that would happily compete with the more renowned courses in the North East, Inverallochy is the definition of a hidden gem.

Even in early season off mats Inverallochy is a fun, quick game of links golf with some challenging holes, friendly members and some very nice sea views.

I’d only been in this corner of the North East of Scotland once before, back in August 2008 when I played the Corbie Hill course at Fraserburgh, so when I saw that Inverallochy had made the Scottish district rankings at the start of this year, I knew I had to return to see what the course was all about.

'Blue is the colour' I will always associate with Inverallochy, Nothing to do with John Terry et al but a reference to the endless vistas of that hue that so enhanced my day here.

Quite often when you venture off the beaten golfing path you come across hidden gems like this and Inverallochy most certainly falls into this category.
