Aigas Golf Course & Holiday Cottages
Beauly
Set in the peaceful Highland countryside near Beauly, Aigas Golf Course offers a relaxed and scenic 9-hole golfing experience alongside charming self-catering accommodation. Overlooking the River Beauly and surrounded by rolling farmland and woodland, it’s a quiet, rural setting that feels a world away from busier golf destinations.
The 9-hole course (played as 18 tees) measures just over 5,000 yards and is designed to be enjoyable for a wide range of golfers. Fairways are open but shaped by natural contours, with water features, trees and subtle elevation changes adding interest throughout the round. It’s not overly demanding, making it ideal for a more relaxed game or for those looking to unwind during a Highlands trip.
What really sets Aigas apart is the overall experience. The adjoining holiday cottages allow you to stay right on-site, creating a laid-back “golf and stay” setup that’s perfect for small groups, couples or longer stays exploring the region. It’s less about championship golf and more about enjoying the surroundings at your own pace.
The atmosphere is friendly and unpretentious, very much in keeping with traditional Highland hospitality. It works perfectly as a base for exploring nearby areas such as Inverness, Loch Ness and the wider Highlands, while still offering an easy, enjoyable round of golf on your doorstep.
