The Courses
Seven legendary links on the north-east coast of Scotland
Portmahomack Golf Club
A scenic 9-hole course on the Tarbat Peninsula overlooking the Dornoch Firth, offering spectacular views across the water. A perfect gentle warm-up on arrival day to shake off the jet lag and get the first taste of Scottish links turf underfoot.
Visit Website →Royal Dornoch
Consistently ranked among the finest golf courses in the world, Royal Dornoch sits on a raised plateau above the Dornoch Firth. Founded in 1877, it is the third-oldest golf course in the world. The course was shaped by Old Tom Morris and features breathtaking scenery, natural duneland, and the famous "Cathedral Hole." Four rounds are scheduled here across two days.
Visit Website →Golspie Golf Club
A charming 18-hole course that blends heathland and links terrain, set against a dramatic backdrop of the Dunrobin Castle estate. Golspie is one of the hidden gems of the Scottish Highlands — less well-known than its famous neighbours but richly rewarding.
Visit Website →Brora Golf Club
Designed by James Braid in 1924 along a stretch of the Sutherland coast, Brora is one of Scotland's most authentically unspoilt links — still grazed by cattle and sheep, with an electric fence at the 10th to keep the livestock off the greens. Two rounds are planned here, morning and afternoon.
Visit Website →Royal Aberdeen
One of the oldest golf clubs in the world, Royal Aberdeen's Balgownie Links is a formidable championship course that has hosted the Scottish Open. The afternoon round is played with club members. Lunch precedes play — jacket and tie is strictly required and must not be forgotten.
Visit Website →Cruden Bay Golf Club
Perhaps the most dramatic links in Scotland, Cruden Bay tumbles through towering sand dunes above a sweeping bay on the Aberdeenshire coast. The day begins with 9 holes on the shorter St Olaf course, followed by lunch and an afternoon round on the magnificent Championship course.
