History

Strathlene Buckie Golf Club is one of the oldest golf courses in Scotland, being established in 1877. It began as a 9 hole course situated between Portessie and Strathlene House, with two of the holes situated in the area which is now Strathlene Caravan Site. The original clubhouse was situated at the entrance to Portessie Railway Station. In 1936 the course was extended to it's full 18 holes, with the purchase of ground on the headland between Strathlene and Findochty. The 18 hole course was designed by Mr George Smith of Lossiemouth.

Strathlene is a raised links course, with fantastic views over the Moray Firth. It is often considered a hidden gem with its unique characteristics of undulating fairways, gullies and elevated greens, making the most of the natural, original contours of the land. It is a challenging course and is considered a true test for its length. Four of the original golf course holes make up the finish to the 18 hole round.

The clubhouse was relocated on the cliff top overlooking Strathlene, originally in 1936 and then a new clubhouse was built in 1974. The clubhouse features panoramic views across both the golf course, the Moray Firth and across the countryside. 

After further purchases of land, the club completed development of a golf training facility, Strathlene Driving Range. The facility features a 14 bay driving range, a 3 hole pitch and putt area and an indoor putting studio.
