The resort also includes an 18-hole Cairngorm putting green, inspired by the famous Himalayas course at St Andrews, punctuated with rock gardens, practice range, trout pools, restaurant and bar and self-catering accommodation in 12 woodland holiday lodges.

Proprietor, Mike Forbes, says: “We have created a first-class golf development which is a superb addition to the many activities we already provide at Kingennie.”

Adds Webster said: “We wanted the course to work with the existing contours of the countryside, and the topography of Kingennie has lent itself to providing a very attractive and exciting lay-out.

“It has all the essential ingredients of a top course. When you've played a great round in a great location, you immediately want to go back and do it again, and that's exactly how you'll feel when you've played Kingennie.”

The Kingennie course features three par-3s, five par-4s and a par-5 tees with USGA- specification greens and irrigation maintained by a team led by Gregor Norrie, formerly senior greenkeeper at the Gleneagles PGA course.
