The Highlands - Scotland
The Highlands are so different in every way. In terms of wondrous scenery and beautifully-crafted golf courses, it doesn’t get any better! Take Royal Dornoch, arguably the region’s most famous course. A round on Dornoch offers the chance to step back in time and if it weren’t for its secluded nature, it would be high up on the list of would-be Open venues.
Southwards and to the east of Inverness is the delightful town of Nairn and two championship courses – The Nairn Golf Club (the more testing of the two) and the Nairn Dunbar Course.
Honorable mentioned courses in this region are: Brora, Tain, Durness, Boat of Garten to mention just a few. So, if you are looking for something a little bit special and out of the ordinary, then the Scottish Highlands is the place for you – just remember to bring your camera!
