Royal Dornoch Golf Club
Royal Dornoch Golf Club is unquestionably among the elite group of classic links courses that draw visitors to Scotland. The Championship Course is in the top 10 in the country and has been a Royal member for almost a century.
Dornoch is a historic town with evidence of golf being played here for over two centuries prior to the club's founding in 1877. In 1889, Old Tom Morris expanded the course to 18 holes, and John H Taylor tweaked Old Tom's design a few years later.
The Championship course was cut in half after WWII and integrated into the Ladies Course to form the Struie, with George Duncan adding a few extra holes to create the Royal Dornoch Championship links we see today.
Royal Dornoch is a must-play course on any tour of the Scottish Highlands, providing links golf as it should be, with stunning views across the Dornoch Firth.
