The Highlands.
“Outstanding natural beauty, Loch Ness, malt whisky and links golf along the Moray Firth.”
A coastline where mountains, lochs and links golf share the same horizon — with Inverness, distilleries and Highland roads in every direction.
Outstanding natural beauty, Loch Ness and Inverness.
The outstanding natural beauty of the Scottish Highlands is always worth a visit. Featuring some of the highest mountains in the UK and spectacular lochs, the Highlands offer plenty of adventures for outdoor lovers.
Inverness sits at the top of Loch Ness and is a lively town with many bars and restaurants. There are also plenty of opportunities to sample the finest malt whiskies in the world at the many distilleries open to the public.
The Highlands pair bucket-list scenery with courses that reward touch, patience and smart scoring around firm turf, bunkers and coastal wind.
Royal Dornoch
Not far from Inverness lies Royal Dornoch. One of the best links courses in the world, this gem offers one of the purest links experiences. The course nestles close to the Moray Firth and features challenging greens due to their upturned saucer design.
Castle Stuart
Also situated on the banks of the Moray Firth is Castle Stuart. A modern links-style course designed by Gil Hanse, it opened in 2009 and quickly earned a reputation for challenging holes with a stunning backdrop.
Nairn Dunbar
Nairn Dunbar offers a different challenge. It is not a links course, but it has a links feel, with deep bunkers and thick gorse bushes acting as on-course defenses. It is a hard but fair course for any level of golfer.
