Lossiemouth Oakenhead woods are mostly coniferous, with a number of open, sandy areas. Patches of gorse occur throughout the area. The south eastern part of the area, used by the Light Green course, is younger mixed coniferous and deciduous woodland with many open areas, and is mostly mapped as semi-open. The area is mostly flat or gently rolling. There is an extensive path network - some of the paths are vague, and some new paths are not mapped.
The canal to the north east of the area, the main road to the south west and the cemetery are out of bounds!
