Royal Dornoch

Par: 72 Length: 6711 yards Course designer: Old Tom Morris

Dornoch Golf Club was formed in 1877, became Royal in 1906 courtesy of King Edward VII, and has always been operated as a private members club. However, since the very beginning, the members and the people of Dornoch have realised the joy that their course gives to golfers and the value of the tourism to the area so have welcomed visitors ever since the first ball was struck. The par 70 course is evenly distributed over the two halves, each featuring two par threes, a par five and six par fours. If the wind blows the course will demand more from the player especially the par four finishing hole where a par can be considered a birdie. Old Tom Morris was the architect responsible for extending the original 9 holes layout to 18 holes in 1866. He introduced the plateau greens which are the soul of the course, their uniqueness lies in their size and their inverted saucer shapes.

Tain

Par: 70 Length: 6404 yards

Old Tom Morris designed this championship course (in 1890) with stunning views, and now with modern new clubhouse and facilities. Overlooking the Dornoch Firth, Tain arguably offers one of the best settings imaginable in the highlands for a round of golf, with sea on one side and the backdrop of the mountains behind.

Brora

Castle Stewart

Par: 72 Length: 7009 yards Course designer: Mark Parsinen & Gil Hanse

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.
