Dining
Clubhouse lunches, a candlelit coastal restaurant, and a local Italian favourite

Visit Website →Luigi
A beloved local institution, Luigi in Dornoch has built a devoted following for its unpretentious, warmly-served Italian cooking. A perfect choice for a relaxed group dinner after a big day at Brora — hearty pasta, good wine, and great company.
Visit Website →Royal Dornoch Clubhouse
Lunch at Royal Dornoch's newly built clubhouse is included between morning and afternoon rounds on both days at Dornoch. A chance to relive the morning's golf over soup, sandwiches, and a view of the 18th hole.
Brora Golf Club
Lunch at Brora's clubhouse between the morning and afternoon rounds — a relaxed, informal affair in the best tradition of the Scottish golf club.
Royal Aberdeen Golf Club
Lunch at Royal Aberdeen is a formal affair in one of the game's most storied clubhouses. A jacket and tie is mandatory and will be enforced. Please ensure these are packed and accessible — not in checked luggage arriving from Dornoch. This is one of the highlights of the trip and not to be missed.
Cruden Bay Golf Club
Lunch at Cruden Bay between the St Olaf morning round and the Championship course in the afternoon. A welcome rest point in the middle of what will be a memorable day of golf.
