The rounds

4 courses from a Dornoch base

  1. 1.Royal Dornoch Struie
  2. 2.Golspie
  3. 3.Brora
  4. 4.Royal Dornoch Championship

£50–£360/round · Inverness — 50 min

Group booking note

Play the Struie on arrival day (groups of 8+ get preferential morning starting). Golspie and Brora are both excellent and cost roughly a tenth of the Championship. Save the Championship for the last day. Nothing about this trip is quick, but nothing about it is forgettable either.

Where to stay

Base yourself in Dornoch

Dornoch is a small town with a big course, and its bed stock is the tightest of any trip here — the Royal Golf Hotel and Links House sit beside the first tee, and self-catering in town books out early for summer. Reserve accommodation before you confirm the tee sheet, not after. If Dornoch itself is full, spread north up the coast — Golspie, Brora and the Moray Firth towns (Lossiemouth is an hour east) all have rooms and self-catering, and you're playing Golspie and Brora anyway, so a base up there is no detour.
