Brora golf course presents all the attributes of a traditional
Scottish Highland links, with a classic layout, an easy opening
hole, and a short hole facing each cardinal point of the compass,
you will have to adapt and manufacture according to whether the
course is running fast or slow.
As with all seaside links there are some very special places through
out this course; the panorama of seascape and landscape from the
second tee, the proximity of the sea to the 9th green and the beauty
of the 13th green, one of the jewels in Braid's crown. Tarbatness,
the 17th, so called because of the lighthouse which gives you the
line and with the elevated tee, is one of the best driving holes
in all of Scotland.
Overall the golf course is a real treat, the clubhouse is modern
and comfortable, the catering excellent. But perhaps the overriding,
all important feature is the atmosphere.
Warm, friendly and welcoming.

At Royal Dornoch on the Championship Course and the second links
the Struie, the golfer is presented with a magical mixture in a
vision of natural beauty, with respectively 18 holes each of character
and challenge that can be recalled to mind long after the round
is completed.
The Championship Course has an open look, each hole being separate
from the others views of the sea on every hole, but there are no
long walks from green to tee. The Course can be enjoyed by the average
player, but offers repeated and fresh challenge to the expert.
The Struie Course on which some new holes are being developed to
give it additional length has its own character. Its current shorter
length is well suited to being a family holiday course, but small
greens challenge the lower handicap golfer to make a good score.
