Shop Opening Hours

The shop opening hours will change as of Monday 19th October to the following:

Monday - Friday - 8:00am - 4:00pm.
Saturday and Sunday - 7:30am - 4:00pm.

Winter is coming!

We have taken delivery of our winter mats ready for these coming into use in November.

These will be £10 per mat and are now available.

For those of you unaware of our winter procedures, we will move to using mats from the fairway or alternatively you can move the ball to the side.(outside the red lines which the green staff will paint down the sides of each hole).

Using these mats will really help the fairways recover and get a rest from all the golf traffic they've received over the busy season.

Winters Coming!

Get your Christmas gifts sorted early this year!

New MGC Crested Gift Ideas

We have some new MGC crested products coming very soon including winter mitts (£29.99), travel coffee mugs (£14.99) and Hidrate drink bottles (£19.99). These are just a few new products that will sit alongside our usual crested winter hats, headcovers etc.

Perfect Stocking Fillers

The Hidrate Drinks Bottles are also available with a name or initials below the MGC logo to make it an extra special personalised gift. If you would like a personalised bottle we need to have these ordered before Sunday 15th November to guarantee Christmas delivery.

Pro's news

What's coming in 2021?

We have started looking at products for the 2021 season and are hoping that things will be a little more normal come the new spring/summer season. We are mixing things up a little and have decided to introduce ECCO shoes into the pro shop for next year.

Spend your credit in store!

We are hoping that we will see lots of you along for our Trade-in Event on Friday which is run by Golfclubs4cash between 8:00am-11:00am.

This is a great chance to get rid of some old clubs that have been gathering dust, taking up space in your house and losing value every year they are still there.

They will generally accept clubs up to 15 years old, preferably a known brand and in reasonable condition for their age.

If you can't make the event feel free to drop us your clubs and we can get some quotes for you.

Golf on Tour

Hatton's happy homecoming

Tyrrell Hatton sealed a fantastic victory at Wentworth in the BMW PGA Championship over the weekend.

The Englishman played some outstanding golf from tee-to-green, setting up birdie chances aplenty thanks to a near-perfect ball-striking display. Finding the right part of the green was key to Hatton's success over the weekend, which saw him enter the World's Top 10 for the very first time.

One of the slightly more unusual talking points from the weekend was Hatton's clothing; more specifically his hoodies. It seems to have people split and, whilst it won't be to everyone's taste, we'd love to hear your thoughts - send us a message below.

adidas Autumn Winter Clothing Collection

Your convenient companion

Have you ever noticed scratches or fading on the shaft of your golf clubs? Well, unless you’ve been doing something totally crazy, this is most likely due to the wear and tear of your golf bag.

Lynx Attitude Cart Bag

If you are seeing scratches on your shafts maybe it’s time to treat yourself to a new bag? With winter closing in, you’ll want a bag that protects your clubs and accessories when it rains too, something that Lynx's Attitude waterproof bags certainly do.

Lynx Attitude Stand Bag

Both the cart and stand bags have plenty of spacious seam-sealed pockets for your accessories, with the cart bag offering 14-way dividers to prevent your clubs from rattling around when on your trolley.

Golf balls: take your pick

Whether you use any old ball that you find on the course or have a go-to model that you simply love, it's always good to know your options. Many golfers choose their golf ball based on price, so here's a handy guide to Srixon's range that you'll find at Moray Golf Club.

A price guide to Srixon's range

AD333

One of the most popular golf balls around. The AD333 is a fantastic, affordable option for golfers looking for an extra bit of distance - useful at this time of year.

Q-Star Tour

A new ball for 2020 and one we're big fans of. You get the distance of the AD333 with exceptional feel thanks to its Urethane cover.

Z-Star and Z-Star XV

At the top end, Srixon's Z-Star models are fantastic all-round options. Golfers enjoy tee-to-green performance with unbeatable spin when you need it most.

With the new World Handicap System coming into effect next month, we thought we'd share this video from the R&A on how your new playing handicap will be calculated. If you have any questions please visit us in the shop.
