GOLSPIE Golf Club will be sharing a major milestone later this season. 

The Golf Highland club is inviting golfers to mark a landmark moment in British golf history by joining celebrations to mark the centenary of James Braid’s completion of its course design.  
 
One of the most influential figures the game has produced, Braid finished shaping the layout in 1926, leaving a legacy that continues to influence golf course architecture across the UK and beyond. 
 
The James Braid Centenary Festival of Golf, running from Thursday 24 to Sunday 27 September 2026, will bring together golfers from across the UK and overseas for four days of competitive play, social events and Highland hospitality, set against one of the most distinctive backdrops in British golf. 
 
Speaking about the announcement, William McBeath, Club Captain at Golspie Golf Club, said: “James Braid’s work helped shape the character of the course we play today, and this centenary gives us a chance to truly celebrate that. For us, that means bringing people together to enjoy the course, the clubhouse and our love for the game. 
 
“We wanted to create something that reflects Golspie’s character – competitive but inclusive, social without being formal, and welcoming to members, locals and visitors alike.” 

Festival tickets are available at £300 for visitors, which includes entry to all four days of competitive golf.  

Festival ticket holders also enjoy a special-rate round for £40 at nearby Brora Golf Club, adding another classic Highland course to their trip. Bookings for festival tickets at www.golspiegolfclub.co.uk
