Royal Dornoch Golf Club
This is the 3rd oldest golfing town in the world after St. Andrews and Leith, with records dating back to 1616. When played by Tom Watson and Ben Crenshaw they both said it was one of the finest courses they had ever played. Designed by Tom Morris it has become a shrine, and has 200 overseas members from the USA alone. Only because of its remoteness has Dornoch not been considered a venue for the Open Championship. This course is just over 1/2 hours drive from Lairg Lodge.
The Championship Course
One of the most popular courses in Scotland, Royal Dornoch’s Championship Course is a thinking golfer’s delight. Originally laid out in 1891 the course has been improved and altered over the years and is now regularly voted into the world’s top twenty by international golfing magazines.
NB. Players will need to show Handicap Certificates (24 for men, and 39 for ladies)
The Struie
Eminent architect Donald Steele designed Royal Dornoch’s second course and produced a fine test of golf. Shorter than its older neighbour its greens are equal to those on the ‘big’ course but their lesser size may still cause some heartache before the round is over?
