Experience the Ultimate Luxury Golf Getaway in Scotland
Close to Inverness in the Scottish Highlands are some of Scotland’s most historic and famous courses... among them Royal Dornoch, designed by Old Tom Morris & the 3rd oldest golf course in the world.
James Braid designed some wonderful links in The Highlands, including Brora, Nairn and Fortrose & Rosemarkie.
Old Tom Morris’ layouts at Tain, Golspie & Moray are among the very best in the Highlands. And the relatively new but must play sister courses of Castle Stuart and Old Petty are challenging and enjoy breathtaking views over the waters of Moray Firth.
Add great links golf to whisky distilleries such as those at Glenmorangie, Glenlivet, Glenturret and Macallan, and you've just planned the perfect golf trip.

ROYAL DORNOCH GOLF CLUB
Ranked #12 in Top 100 Golf Courses in the World
Formed in 1877, Royal Dornoch is spellbinding and golfers from all over the world make the pilgrimage to this natural links at some point in their lives. It is a must play and is currently ranked number 2 in the world by both Golf and Golf Digest Magazines.
It's the timeless setting that makes Royal Dornoch such a pleasing place to play golf. It's wild, isolated and, at the same time, absolutely beautiful; there's the blaze of color in early summer when the gorse is in bloom. The white sandy beach divides the links from the Dornoch Firth and it all feels very humbling.
You can expect the experience at Royal Dornoch to be relaxed and informal, with an emphasis on traditional highland hospitality.
CASTLE STUART GOLF LINKS
Ranked #53 in Top 100 Golf Courses in the World
Castle Stuart Golf Links is a championship links course overlooking the Moray Firth and well-known landmarks that are synonymous with Inverness and the Black Isle – Kessock Bridge and Chanonry Lighthouse being the most notable.
Surrounding the golfer is a rugged and natural landscape with vast expanses of gorse, broom, heather, and sea marram. The bunkering is characterized more by open sandy areas with pockets of light vegetation than by formally revetted (stacked sod or turf) manicured bunkers. And from some tees and greens, the 1930s style white ‘Art Deco’ clubhouse can be seen sitting prominently atop its viewing perch.
All in all Castle Stuart can be described as a throwback to golf as it once was – a simple walk through pleasing natural surroundings with both friends and amazing views to accompany you.
OLD PETTY GOLF LINKS
The brand new sister course to Castle Stuart was designed by the acclaimed architect Tom Doak and is now ready for play!
Old Petty, an 18-hole Tom Doak design, is an authentic celebration of Inverness’s rich history. Doak’s routing threads along a tidal estuary, bringing golfers even closer to the 400-year-old castle, and plays alongside Old Petty Church, which was built in 1839.
The golf course begins and returns to the Golf Clubhouse with the opening and closing hole crossing whilst sharing the same fairway. If it works at St Andrew's Old Course, there's no reason to think it won't work here.
The course’s logo honors the region’s iconic highland cow and rich colors. The year 2025 promises beautiful juxtaposition—a time to unveil world-class golf while celebrating the profound history on which it sits.
NAIRN GOLF CLUB
Ranked #56 in Top 100 Golf Courses in Scotland
Nairn Golf Club is located on an elevated, rumpled piece of linksland on the Moray Firth coastline and is one of Scotland’s well-known links gems.
The club was founded in 1887 to an original design by Archie Simpson. Later Old Tom Morris extended the layout and, prior to the Great War, James Braid made further alterations. After the Great War, James Braid added his finishing touches to polish off the design. It is no wonder that Nairn is such a detailed masterpiece.
One of the most spectacular seaside courses in Scotland, Nairn boasts sea views from every hole. It’s a delightful links with fast, firm and narrow fairways, a number of which are framed by gorse bushes and heather.
BRORA GOLF CLUB
Ranked #29 in Top 100 Golf Courses in Scotland
Brora Golf Club lies 20 miles north of Dornoch and it's one of the most delightful short road journeys imaginable. Brora Golf Club was founded in 1891 and in 1923, James Braid was commissioned to work several redesigns of the course, and little has changed since.
It's a traditional out and back layout with the opening nine holes hugging the North Sea coastline. The ground undulates gently and you can expect to encounter the occasional burn and a series of electric fences, which do a fine job of keeping the sheep off the fast Brora greens.
Measuring 6,211 yards from the back tees, Brora is not a brute to play, but the late great Peter Thomson, winner of Five Open Championships, proclaimed Brora to be his favorite golf course in the world.
GOLSPIE GOLF CLUB
Ranked #54 in Top 100 Golf Courses in Scotland
Golspie Golf Club is a James Braid creation and is situated on the Dornoch Firth. The course is a beguiling mix of classic links, heath and parkland holes. Golspie has stunning views from all holes of the Dornoch Firth on one side and the backdrop of Ben Bhraggie on the other.
Unlike other neighboring courses, the terrain at Golspie is not exclusively links in nature. The course routing sets out over meadowland, quickly turns back as links along the Dornoch Firth for several holes, veers away from the shore into tree-lined heathland around the turn then returns to parkland and links by the end of the round.
The combination of links, heathland and parkland allows visitors to experience each unique style of play and visual in one 18-hole round.
FORTROSE & ROSEMARKIE GOLF CLUB
Ranked #69 in Top 100 Golf Courses in Scotland
There is reference to golf being played at Fortrose & Rosemarkie as far back as 1702, though it was not until 1889 that a formal golf club was. The course was extended to 18 holes by 1924 but it was ten years later before James Braid shaped the links to its current design and Sir Hector Monro opened the revamped course 1935.
Fortrose & Rosemarkie lies on a narrow peninsula jutting out into Rosemarkie Bay and protects the entrance to the Moray Firth. A lighthouse stands at the point, and the road there divides the course in two. There is just enough land either side to accommodate this testing links course.
What Fortrose & Rosemarkie may lack in championship yardage is more than made up for with its small, subtle greens, strategic bunkering, dense island gorse, blind approaches and the proximity of the sea at nearly half the holes.
