As a kid, our family used to spend our summer holidays in Boat of Garten. I've played this course more times than I can remember, at all times of the day, under all kinds of weather. It's not an easy course to play and as the club Pro says it's more a question of accuracy than distance; once you get off the fairways, you're in trouble. Beautiful views of the Cairngorms from every hole and the whole region is full of courses to play. Stunning!
Watching it for a second time because I enjoyed it that much!! I think that after the road trip has finished, just take the start of the plug for Orka out so it will just be “orka golfs best kept secret” as a Thankyou to Alex for all the help and happiness he’s brought the Channel Like if you think the same as me!!!!
Woke up before 6am.....and had this video waiting for me! The golf course is spectacular....what a "Hidden Gem!" Liam, you and Mr Barlow, must be the luckiest two men in the UK! Playing these beautiful courses that I will never be able to play!! Thanks to you and "Heavy Ballesteros" for showing all of the #golfmates these beautiful courses!!! 🙂🙂🙂⛳⛳⛳
Absolutely class video Liam the memories just came flooding back, I can't put into words what this Series of videos has done for me mentally, Bora know the Garden cheers Peter Ps It's Golf at one with nature peace and tranquility. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
The video editing is superb! Joe is a real gem. What beautiful golf courses in Scotland! Of course, why wouldn't it be? Its the birthplace for golf! Liam, you were very lucky that Big 'B' missed that putt on the first hole. I think his handicap needs to be reevaluated!
That's a beautiful part of our country. We use to stay around the carrbridge area and do a lot of fishing at the Spay damn. Recommend it to anyone that needs to get away and relax
So glad you played Boat if Garten, one of my absolute favorite course and places in the country 👍 glad you think the same . Brings back memories of many happy days 😀😀😀⛳️
Looks a beauty! A looong way, but worth a look. You lads have lit the fire for a lads trip away, so hitting Eyemouth, Dunstanburgh Castle and Alnwick Castle over the Bank Holiday weekend with my very own "Mr Barlow", my best mate! Can't wait!
I'm from Canada -- but two years ago my wife and I rented a car in Edinburgh and drove all the way up to Orkney. So seeing this road trip is bring back memories as you've taken a similar route. Inverness is a lovely town.
Well Liam I’m going to go with my main man Mr. Barlow to win this one. Another beautiful Scottish golf course brilliant. And of course another awesome video from the golf mates👍👍⛳️🏌️🇨🇦🏴
Played here over 30 years ago. Great golf course - if I remember rightly the 6th hole has been voted one of the best in Scotland. A must destination for all GolfMates😀
Excellent video, makes me appreciate my country and it’s stunning views. Would love a wee coaching video on chipping and putting as your short game is mustard
Another great video, loved the Scottish tour vlogs and videos😁😁 mr Barlow has been unplayable 😂😂😂 big shout out to joe and his video editing and if he chooses the music 👏👏👏
Another fantastic vlog, hopefully more to come from The Boat, just love it around there, that's just put me in the mood to drive the 3hrs up the road for a round!
Fantastic course and match. The courses you have played in Scotland are stunning and they all made you feel so welcome. Great match and how well you are swinging the club.
Fabulous Golf Mates start to my Sunday morning... now off to my round! Just when I think they cant possibly improve on perfection, the GM vids keep getting better!
Great coarse good match guys joes camera work and editing is fantastic so professional has took the channel to a new level keep it up lads more road trips
You let him stitch you up again Liam, Mr B the mind bender😂😂😂😂 Got to say, some of the drone footage and camera work from Joe is outstanding 👏👏👏. As I said earlier on in your trip, the Scottish tourist board and golf association must be made up with the way you have shown Scotland in your vlogs, its a beautiful place . Stay safe Golfmates , wherever you may be.👍👍👍👍👍
Another terrific Scottish course, when I retire later in the year will be planning to get a couple of weeks north of the border so some great insight of where to go to. Great footage from Joe again, and nice drone footage as well.
Hoping to get there once the kids are back at school. I live in Inverness but never played it. Loving this series Liam and looking forward to any future journeys.
Great vid again guys. Lovely looking course but too pricey I think. You could play a few nice courses in Wales for that kind of money. Great birdie too Liam, good to see you pull the Driver out with confidence and getting the results. Just don't let Mr B talk you into it all the time, hehe.
Played 4times the Heather is amazing purple purple and more purple of course when you're in it and your ball is 5 inches in air it's hard to beat best 9 holes ever
Fantastic track. Went there last year and it was lovely. Scenery spectacular. Deer roaming in the hedges. If you go, go to the Store down the road and get a bag of sunflower hearts and feed the birds off your hand at Loch Garten. Great day out.
I commented on an earlier video and said Boat of Garten was my favourite course even having played Dornoch and the major courses. I't's great to see you playing there.
I love BoG - it’s a beauty. Great video as usual and the production is fantastic. PS I knew when you had your driver out on that short Par 4 it was the wrong choice - I’ve done the very same thing you did 🤪🤪
wow those Scottish courses look stunning , need to go up there and play some , If ever golfmates travel got a trip going up here it would love to play . Great play Mr Harrison you were unlucky not to win that .
It amazes me that Steve can get any distance at all on his shots. He has such an abbreviated backswing that barely gets his hands to his shoulders. However, he’s learned how to play with that swing. Very impressive!
As much as I love all the super stars on the golf mates channel, the matches between you and Mr. Barlow are the main attraction for me. I almost pissed myself @ 5:12! Mr. Barlow is the funniest Golf Mate among all golf mates. What I wouldn't give to play a round of golf with you both. Kevin O'Rourke
Pulling these gems off well b⛳️🏌🏻👍🏻
Always a pleasure to watch my extended Golfmates family on a Sunday morning playing golf....👍👍👍👍...from a fellow GolfMate from across the big pond..
Cheered me up, have had a really bad day.
Chin up pal
Wife in hospital with a brain tumour, devastated mates

Absolutely no more shot in a 3/4 hole match
The old tune is back love it
