Disc Golf
Age Appropriate

- Teenagers
- Adults
Location
- Outdoor
Disc Golf is one of the fastest growing sports in the world and for good reason. It comes with a warning……. “Highly Addictive.”
There are three nine hold disc golf courses at ACE that are ideal for beginners going through to the outback nine that will test the best pro disc golfer.
ACE have a pro disc golf shop on site where you can purchase quality disc golf discs.
Also known as Frolf and Frisbee Golf. Basically Disc Golf involves throwing a flying disc with a level of accuracy from a tee toward a pole with chains that catch the discs and drops them in a basket.
Just like traditional ball golf there is more or less the same terminology such as eagles, birdies, par, bogies etc which are scores above or below par (the average number of throws required for the hole or course). Lowest score wins. What we love at ACE is the term for a “hole in one” which in disc golf is called an “Ace!”
That is about where the similarity stops because disc golf is easy to learn and a lot more fun than ball golf, particularly as you play through woodland at ACE with natural fairways down corridors of trees where you need to get your disc to curve around objects.
- Pro disc shop
- Low-cost activity
- Fabulous scenery
- Great for first-timers
- Challenging course
- Reception and snacks kiosk onsite
- Three 9-hole courses to suit any ability
Moray’s first and best disc golf course.
ACE has three nine-hole courses set amongst Larch Pine forest that cater to beginners and advanced players.
Disc golf is simply golf with a frisbee with the same rules as traditional ball golf. Players count the number of throws at each hole until the disc lands in a basket suspended by a pole with chains that catch the disc.
It’s one of the fastest growing sports in the world, fast to learn and a lot of fun!
We have a nine-hole red course suited for beginners, a longer and harder nine-hole white course suited for intermediate players and a very long and difficult nine-hole blue course.

Fun Fact
Unlike traditional paintballs, which are 0.68 caliber and are propelled through compressed gases, splatmaster paintballs are shot with 0.50 caliber-sized paintballs and propelled through the usage of a spring. For this reason, splatmaster hurts significantly less and travels not as far as normal paintballs.

Fun Fact!
Paintball was inadvertently invented by the Nelson Paint Company in the 1960’s when they made markers (the paintball guns) called that because their purpose was to use to mark trees by forestry and cattle by ranchers. People started shooting each other for fun and by the early 80’s modern paintball was born.

Inflatable Packrafts & Canoes
Age Appropriate
- Teenagers
- Adults
Location
- Outdoor
Packrafts are small, versatile, inflatable boats that allow you to explore the breathtaking scenery along our white water river, here in Moray, Scotland, UK.
Packrafts are very easy to manoeuvre and also easy to learn the basics. With instruction from our guides, you will be in control of your own packraft as you negotiate your way down the various rapids and flat pools on the River Findhorn.
When packrafting, there is no chance of the boat swamping and sinking because they always float. In the unlikely event you tip over, it’s just a case of holding onto the packraft with your feet up until you are through the white water rapid, then you can get yourself back into the packraft with the aid of one of the guides if need be – just remember to keep hold of your paddle!
- Safety equipment
- Thick 5mm wet suit so you don’t get cold
- Short walk to the river to start the trip with transportation back to base at the end of the session

The middle section of the River Findhorn has long been a draw for kayakers and canoeists due to fabulous scenery, abundant wildlife and a mixture of calm, relaxed stretches between first-class Grade 3 white water rapids.
ACE offers packrafting trips suitable for the first-time enthusiast by using one-person stable inflatable packrafts under instruction by our friendly qualified river guides.

Use inflatable river tubes, a bit like smurf doughnuts, to float down rapids, go over and swim under waterfalls with cliff jumping in deep pools.
River tubing is a truly comical activity that offers an opportunity to adapt the experience to each individual’s comfort zone.
Armed with a river tube that resembles a large tire inner tube, clad in a quality thick neoprene wetsuit, the dark, mysterious waters of Randolph’s Leap await.
Testing balance and control floating down the white water rapids, admiring stunning scenery passing by one of Britain’s tallest trees, then jumping from wonderfully sculptured gorge walls. Carry on to negotiate the Cauldron, tube over a drop of 1.5 metres, then swim over and behind a waterfall into a spa.
