Cluny Hill Hydropathic Golf Course, Muiryshade. (1902 – WW2)
Originally a nine-hole course.
In 1912 Willie Park designed the new eighteen-hole course.
In 1904 Forres Golf Club lost their course on Kinloss Links and they moved to play on the Hydropathic course. Unfortunately the Forres club had to play second fiddle to the hotel guests who had priority on the golf course at this time.
Fees in 1903.
