Golf in the highlands is a truly exceptional experience, as the region is renowned for its picturesque courses, stunning landscapes, and rich golfing history. Inverness is often referred to as the “Gateway to the Highlands” and is the capital city of the Scottish Highlands. With its lush greenery, rolling hills, and proximity to iconic landmarks like Loch Ness, the golf courses in the region offer a unique blend of natural beauty and challenging play.

One of the most famous golf courses in the area is the Castle Stuart Golf Links. Designed by Gil Hanse and Mark Parsinen, this championship course overlooks the Moray Firth, providing breathtaking views of the ocean. Its strategic layout, undulating fairways, and well-placed bunkers make it a favorite among golfers of all skill levels.

Royal Dornoch, designed by the legendary Old Tom Morris, is a traditional links-style golf course, situated along the stunning east coast of the Scottish Highlands. It is renowned for its natural beauty, challenging layout, and rich history dating back to 1877.

To the east of Inverness you will find traditional links courses along the Moray Firth including Nairn, Spey Bay and Moray, characterized by their rugged coastal settings and firm, fast fairways.
