10 Golf Courses in Scottish Highlands That You Shouldn't Miss
The moody, romantic Scottish Highlands start at Loch Lomond just north of Glasgow. Comprising a slew of mountain ranges, this sparsely populated land is best seen by train on the West Highland Line. Mountains, lochs, bright heather and rhododendrons give way to white sand beaches and rugged coves as the train nears Mallaig. For a more active take on the region, hike the West Highland Way or visit the Trossachs National Park. Ben Nevis, a popular climbing spot, looms over the town of Fort William.

Designed by Old Tom Morris in 1886, this challenging, historic course has spectacular views of the North Sea and goes almost straight out and straight back, with the angle changing subtly at each hole.

Had a first rate couple of visits to Royal Dornoch this New Year. Found the course in great condition even at this time of year, and the hospitality and catering in the clubhouse was top notch. The course is a great challenge with some fantastic holes, especially as you work your way back to the clubhouse. Views are stunning. Will definitely be back in the Summer.

We had arranged to hire clubs and were met by an extremely friendly member to complete that transaction. The clubhouse is warm and cosy with panoramic views of the bay. A great visitors course with so many different holes. The final hole is a brilliant short hole across the cliff and in you come to the deightful club house. Though I rarely get up so far North, I love this place!

Played the course a few days running at the end on October, winter greens in operation due to the frost. The club house was closed & an honesty box in operation. Met a few of the memebers who were all very friendly and helpful. It’s a 9 hole & relatively short course but a good test of golf. The greens looked in excellent condition although I didn’t get to play them due to the frost. Would definitely look to play it again if I was up there in the summer. A credit to the members & committee.
