The story of golf in Nethy Bridge opened its first chapter on July 1^st 1893 when a group of around 30 golfers travelled down from Inverness to experience the new course.  We are proud members of The 1893 Club, a group of more than 50 clubs worldwide all founded in 1893.  Modern day visitors often ask why it was named Abernethy rather than Nethy Bridge since it is situated in that village.  Historically however the parish name, Abernethy, was much more commonly used.  The village name Nethy Bridge was imposed upon reluctant parishioners when the postal service was introduced to the area.

We are one of the High 9s – 9 9 hole Clubs across the Highlands where you can enjoy quality golf in unforgettable Highland settings. So how about a golfing tour starting in the Cairngorms National Park, maybe arriving via the Snow Roads and continuing north to the North Coast 500?  Or stay local and enjoy a whisky tour?

Our course is suitable for golfers of all standards and experience. Visitors looking for a relaxed and casual game will cope perfectly well with the friendly course layout with few man-made hazards but lots of natural ones.  Low handicappers will need to bring their very best short game to score well.

Families are welcome and handicap certificates are not required.

The golf course is home to many wildlife species. Red squirrels abound in the forest bordering the fairways, pine martens are regular visitors, curlews nest between the seventh and eighth holes, with oystercatchers at the eighth.  Golfers may even glimpse an osprey flying over the course carrying a fish to feed its young at the famous Loch Garten nest – a rare birdie indeed.
