Nairn Dunbar Golf Club
Course Description
Situated behind the rugged sand dunes of Nairn’s East Beach, Nairn Dunbar Golf Links offers an unrivalled experience for golfers of all levels. With views across the Moray Firth to the Black Isle and beyond to the mountains of Sutherland as well as inland to the neighbouring Cawdor Hills, the course is a treat for the senses. Measuring over 6800 yards off the medal tees, it requires both guile and skill to negotiate its hugely varied challenges presented from first tee to final green.
Nairn Golf Club
Course Description
What delights the visitor and member alike is the Scottish-ness of the links. Other than in a strong westerly, it leads you in gently before demanding accurate driving and precision second shots. Gorse is a hazard. The par 4 holes tease and confound and all four short holes are cunningly angled, with the 4th a little gem and the 14th simply spectacular. As three of the par 5 holes are over 530 yards long, it is a test for all. Yet, even more challenging than the humps and hollows that lurk in the fairways, is the trickery of the greens. Eighty years ago, having played the Championship Course, James Braid commented on their quality – “The texture of the turf and the character of the greens is unrivalled”.

Royal Dornoch Golf Club
Course Description
Royal Dornoch is spellbinding and many golfers from all over the world make the pilgrimage to this
natural links at some point in their lives. It is often quoted as one of the must-play courses.
It’s the timeless setting that makes Royal Dornoch such a pleasing place to play golf. It’s wild, isolated
and, at the same time, absolutely beautiful; there’s the blaze of colour in early summer when the gorse
is in flower. The pure white sandy beach divides the links from the Dornoch Firth and it all feels very humbling.
Formed in 1877, Royal Dornoch means exceptional standards and we always aim to exceed the expectations
of our frequent visitors and loyal members. However, we aim to do this in a relaxed, informal environment,
with an emphasis on traditional highland hospitality.
It is not just the Championship course that presents golfers with the challenges of links-land. Our second
18 hole course the Struie is enjoyable and entertaining for the whole family at a modest green fee, and
it can also test the lower handicap player.
