Scottish Golf Cruise Itinerary

Enjoy golfing on your Scottish barge cruise. This is the perfect way to experience the famous golf courses of Scotland.

The golf cruise include four pre-booked and paid tee times and transfers to and from the golf clubs. Hire of clubs, caddy or buggy not included. Only those golfing pay the supplement. A minimum of 4 passengers on a golf charter are required to play golf.

Sunday, Day 1 – Muirtown

Guests are met at our designated meeting point in Inverness and transferred by private chauffeured minibus to Spirit of Scotland. A Champagne Welcome awaits and perhaps later take an early evening stroll to the sea lock with wonderful views over the Moray and Beauly Firths. Dinner on board.

Monday, Day 2 – Muirtown to Dochgarroch

Depart early for the Royal Dornoch Golf Course (1hr 30mins drive) for a round on the Championship Golf Course, one of Scotland’s famous links courses designed by Tom Morris. Dornoch dates back to 1616 and earns international acclaim.

The cruise today will take us up the Muirtown lock flight, then a short trip along the pretty section of canal to Dochgarroch. Dinner on board. (18 holes, 6,514 yards Par 70 – buggies and pull carts available)

Tuesday, Day 3 – Dochgarroch to Fort Augustus

After breakfast, we drive 20 minutes to Cabot Highlands, previously known as Castle Stuart where we play on the Championship Links Golf Course overlooking the Moray Firth.

Lunch on board. Our cruise today will take us down across the world famous Loch Ness with perhaps a chance of spotting “Nessie” before arriving at Fort Augustus. Dinner on board. (18 holes, 7,009 yards, Par 72 – buggies and pull carts available)

Wednesday, Day 4 – Fort Augustus to Kytra

After breakfast, we visit the private Highland Club, a spectacular exclusive set of residences and a former 19th century Benedictine Monastery. If the weather permits, an expert handler will treat us to a falconry and birds of prey demonstration on the banks of Loch Ness. You will not easily forget the majesty of the swooping birds against the backdrop of the sweeping Scottish Highlands. There is time to explore the pretty village of Fort Augustus before lunch on board.

After lunch, we cruise to Fort Augustus and down the “flight of locks” as the locals call it, to moor opposite the Benedictine Abbey at the entrance to Loch Ness. This evening we dine ashore at a local restaurant. (9 holes, 5454 yards, Par 67 – pull carts available)

Thursday, Day 5 – Kytra to Laggan

Golf this morning is at nearby Fort Augustus Golf Course, probably the only course in the world kept manicured by a herd of sheep! Featuring 9 holes in a challenging canal side setting.

This afternoon, we cruise across scenic Loch Oich for some fishing or perhaps a stroll and onto the pretty Laggan Avenue. As we approach Laggan, our Highland Piper may greet us with a stirring rendition of traditional Scottish music. Dinner on board. (9 holes, 5,454 yards par 67 – pull carts available)

Friday, Day 6 – Laggan to Banavie

After breakfast on board we drive 30 minutes tothe Newtonmore Golf course. Established in 1893, this comparatively flat, easy-walking, parkland course is full of exciting and invigorating challenges. It nestles appealingly in the midst of the Monadhliath and Grampian Mountains, and on the banks of the River Spey.

Afterwards we return to the Scottish Highlander and cruise to our final mooring at Banavie beneath Ben Nevis close to Neptune’s Staircase of locks. If time permits, we can visit the ruins of old Inverlochy Castle. Captain’s Farewell Dinner on board. (18 holes, 6041 yards, Par 70 – pull carts and buggies available)
