Superb course well worth playing
First time playing Boat of Garten GC and so glad I did. Friendly welcome all round, was playing in an open competition which was so well run. Good practice facilities. Course quite challenging in the way a few blind tee shots and a few ups and downs to negotiate resulting in a good walk around but not too strenuous. Some great looking holes with fabulous views of surrounding mountains. Course in great condition, greens rolled well if a little difficult to read. Nice looking and friendly clubhouse, all in all great place to have a round of golf.Reviewer Rating

Must play!
Been on my bucket list for some time now and it didn't disappoint. The views are amazing and so is the course. Very tight, particularly on the front nine, and fairways are very undulating with drumlins across them. Be prepared for the odd bad bounce or two!! Try not to get too upset, the golf and the views are more than worth it!!(Round played: Sep 2021 - Score: 82 Handicap: 11.4)

Disapointed
Beautiful setting.nice welcome.however if you like blind shots and uneven lies then this is for you.the 7th is a very poor hole and 6 is unfair with a ridge in front of the hreen means uou have to carry a superhuman second shot onto the green. Not for me.a fun bounce game couree onlyReviewer Rating

We played it the day before Spey Valley - it's shorter and tighter, with lots of links-type shots and bounces. The first 7 holes were played into a stiff wind - very difficult, anything loose is gone. Easier downwind on the way back.
