Great golf with great service…read more As you drive through the fields across from Inverness you can't quite tell you're about to play a world class golf course. Rye grass and bluffs shield the clubhouse until you turn the last corner. Staff is incredibly personable and knowledgable. The pro shop is well equipped with the best merchandise I saw in Scotland (including St. Andrews) Many brands like KJUS that you can't get in the US. We enjoyed lunch in the clubhouse overlooking the course and the Moray Firth. Leather chairs and dark wood appointments accentuate the many windows of the clubhouse. Our server Charlotte was kind and attentive. The course itself is in immaculate shape. What we couldn't control was the wind and our general mediocre play. Most holes are along the water so you always have a great view. We did encounter 40 MPH winds toward the end of round with made the long par 5 18 incredibly difficult. Do yourself a favor and visit Castle Stuart during your next trip to Scotland.

Best Golf in Scotland! I had a blast!…read more This is where golf was made! It has the best golf course any where in the country! 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. September 2023

Dear Sirs, I have just returned from a weeks holiday in Nairn, staying in Old Barr View appts…read more overlooking the Nairn Dunbar Golf Course with my family. While out walking with my 2 daughters (both married) we dropped into N.D.G.C. to ask if was possible to book a meal for 5 people, we were refused but 2 members sitting opposite, (the only 2 in the club) were taken aback by the barman's refusal, the members said they would sign us in. So my 2 daughters and I had a drink and a very enjoyable chat with these gents. We said we would call back 2moro for lunch, no problem, then thanked the 2 members for their hospitality then we left. The following day we called into the club for lunch and the barman ( Bill ) refused us again. Four members were shocked and protested to the barman, surely not. However we decided to leave. I have played N.D.G.C. many times over the years, I am now 75 years old, played there when I was 17 when the 3 holes were across the Lochloy Road, hospitality was always given to me when I played with John Kelly my cousin, who at one time was on the committee, prior to his death a few years ago. I have played many courses in Scotland, Spain & Portugal never have I been refused entry to any clubs, not even Bowling clubs. Obviously N.D.G.C. does not see hospitality as a source of revenue in these hard economic times. Maybe that isn't your clubs policy, just the attitude of a very anti-social barman. I would like to thank the members of N.D.G.C. for the kindness they shown us in a very embarrassing situation. I am a member of Binny Golf Club, Uphall , West Lothian, they were appalled at our treatment. I love N.D.G.C. and hope you go from strength to strength, unfortunately with a barman with a very sad attitude. Allan McIntyre. Amac41@blueyonder.co.uk

Hopeman is simply a special place and has some of the most stunning golf holes you will ever experience. It is raw, true links without the douchey frills people like to spend big bucks on.

I was on a British Isle crusie and Invergordon was one of the ports we visited. I saw that the golf…read morecourse was a mile away for port, so why not?! It's an easy, pretty straight forward 17min walk or so from the port. Course was in pretty good condition. There was a little bit of rain the day or 2 before, but fairways and greens were firm and solid. It does get pretty windy being by the water and all. But that also allows for some great pics on some of the holes. I will say that only thing confusing if you're not a regular is where to go for the next hole. You really gotta pay attention for the arrows and look at the signs. Other than that, awesome course!

This might not be the best course in Scotland, but it is probably overlooked and certainly one of…read moremy favorites. The old course is a classic links designed by Old Tom Morris with deep revetted bunkers, undulating gorse lined fairways and smooth fast greens. It is a superb test of golf with seven par fours over 400 yards.... The seaside setting is beautiful, apart from the Royal Air Base that provides more than enough noise to an otherwise peaceful setting. This is really a fun course that provide some treasured golf memories. Also a good value. Hope to return!

Moray GC has two superb links courses, the Old and the New. The New is testing enough, and has…read moresome memorable holes - but the Old is a genuinely underrated gem, seemingly just below the radar of many who play Nairn and Castle Stuart in the area. The front 9 is quite varied, moving gradually inland after a gentle opening hole, with stern tests at the 3rd (elevated green), 4th (long par 3 with a road behind a very narrow green), 5th (well-bunkered drive, on a par 4 which is a beast into the wind), and 8th (another well-guarded hole featuring fairway bunkers and plenty of heather). The 9th and 10th offer some respite, birdie chance short 4s over nice undulating links terrain, before another few challenging 4s, culminating in the rugged 14th, where the RAF landing light in the fairway is your line, and the green butts up against the beach. Then, the last four holes go straight for home, and the 18th is probably the finest closing hole in Scotland, OB all the way up the right with the town and the clubhouse overlooking your efforts. Avoid Hell Bunker on the left of the raised green. This is the kind of course when, played once, you will be desperate to come back again and again.

What an amazing golf course. Beautiful with views of the sea from almost every hole, and feels…read morevery much as if greens, tee boxes, and a bit of fairway were simply cut into the natural landscape. A challenging but fair course (spend the £5 for the yardage book which is also a nice souvenir, and don't be afraid to leave your driver in the bag when looking at a blind shot into a narrow strip of fairway). With sheep and cattle grazing here and there as traditional grazing rights are still held over the land by local farmers, come here to experience three things in one: a sense of the authentic roots of the game in its native land, a fantastic golf course by modern standards, and a breathtakingly beautiful seaside links setting. On top of that, the members and staff were as friendly and hospitable as you will find anywhere in Scotland, which is saying something. And the restaurant is quite tasty with welcoming members and a beautiful elevated view of the tribulations of the 18th hole and the sea. In mid September on an excellent weather day, I had no one in front of me and the closest group two holes behind, which added to the peaceful and unique atmosphere. If visiting from the U.S. as I was, do yourself a favor and scratch a "name droppable" course off your itinerary in favor of this gem that is overflowing with character. Particularly if any of the courses on your list contain the name "Trump". And don't rent a cart unless you really need it -- you'll walk this course in 3.5 hours with a much better feel for the amazing spirit of the place than if you ride.
