Castle Stewart Championship Links Course opened in the summer of 2009 and “might be the most perfectly conceived and executed design ever built” - Ron Whitten (Golf Digest USA).

The first three holes on each nine hug the coastline of the Moray Firth – between Inverness and Nairn where the North Sea is protected by dramatic sea walls.

The rest of the layout is mostly on a plateau, with the natural links style creating the impression that every green is hanging over the edge of the water – creating an “infinity greens” effect.

Castle Stewart will host the Barclays Scottish Open in 2011 where two-time Open Champion Padraig Harrington, Phil Mickelson, and Graeme McDowell will compete for the trophy.
