Kinloss Country Golf Club in Moray has an enviable location, a short drive away from the charming towns of Elgin, Forres and Nairn and the city of Inverness is reachable within an hour.

The picturesque fishing village of Findhorn is also only five miles away, with its idyllic brightly-painted beach huts taking pride of place on the stunning beach that has been called the best in Scotland.

It makes for a perfect spot for a rural holiday park, and the site has planning permission for 16 lavish lodges and six glamping pods.

The pods will be tucked away in a fores to the rear of the property to offer holidaymakers a secluded and relaxed getaway experience, fitting for its ‘Woodland Hideaway’ name.

Including the golf course, the driving range and the clubhouse, the total area of the property expands to just under 50 acres.

The course itself was popular with golfers before it close during the Covid-19 pandemic.

It hasn’t reopened since but that has allowed the current owners to continue with building new homes on site.

The course has been maintained to a high standard as well, keeping it ready for play when the time comes.

A flat, parkland style track in the Moray countryside, Kinloss is fun to play without being overly taxing so it makes it a perfect place for beginners or tourists to tee it up.

The nine holes weave their way through the trees and from the third fairway players can see glimpses of Findhorn Bay and the Black Isle.

Many of the holiday homes look onto the fairways, with the course having been remodelled in some areas to ensure each plot is a safe distance away from greens.

In addition to the log cabins and the glampsite, the holiday park will have a play area and a bar/cafe for residents, plus plenty of car park space.

Each of the lodges will be wooden and Moray Council’s plan is to use Scottish timber grown timber such as Douglas fir, Sitka spruce and European larch during the construction process.

The price? Well, hopefully you have £1m sitting spare.

Prospective buyers are being asked for £900,000 to cover both the course and the clubhouse and the surrounding holiday park.

For the golf facilities on their own, it will cost you £500,000.

Jennifer Campbell of chartered surveyor firm DM Hall, who are advertising the property, said: “This site represents an exciting and rare opportunity for the open market.

“While this property clearly has commercial appeal, one cannot ignore the appeal of a private residential estate. Who doesn’t want their own golf course!”

For the travelling golfer, Cabot Highlands is nearby with an awe-inspiring new course planned next to Castle Stuart as well as fine and underrated courses such as Hopeman, Covesea and Buckpool.

Going further afield you can drive (pardon the pun) along the North Coast 500 and experience some of the best Scotland’s most famous route has to offer the discerning golfer.
