Ultimate Highlands Golf Tour

Make sure you eat a good breakfast because you have a big day of golf ahead! In the morning, you’ll walk over to the Donald Ross masterpiece, Royal Dornoch which hugs the rugged coastline along the windswept dunes of the Dornoch Firth. Don’t get too caught mesmerized by this natural links wonder or this challenging links course will eat you alive!

Every hole presents its own unique challenge, and golfers need to be precise and respectful of the elements to do well. You’ll almost always be playing into the prevailing winds, so you’ll need to be on your toes. The course is known especially for its 14th hole, a beautiful par 4 abundant with natural mounds and an elevated green. There’s a good reason why so many tours for golf in the Highlands of Scotland begin here — Royal Dornoch is a jewel of the Highlands and represents some of the best golfing to be had anywhere in the world.

The evening is all about relaxing after your golfing marathon. We suggest the cozy Coach House. This casual restaurant is a favorite among the locals.

This is a wonderful golfing experience in a friendly, unpretentious environment…Highland hospitality at its finest! Even the most experienced duffers will find a challenge here, with numerous forced carries over the heather as well as fairways edged by dense gorse plants that make the rough truly rough.

In the afternoon, you’ll be immersed in a culinary adventure with an unforgettable whiskey-tasting experience at Glenmorangie, one of the most famous distilleries in the world. The distillery is one of the most acclaimed in the country, attracting generations of distillers to bring their craft and contribute to its long history.

As you say goodbye to Dornoch, your private shuttle will escort you a few miles north for your morning round at Brora, often recognized as being one of James Braid’s finest pieces of work. Recognized as a perfect balance between fun and challenge, no other course in Scotland has so many holes so close to the sea. This creates some truly stunning and breathtaking views from virtually any vantage point. In particular, the par-3 ninth hole is known as the “Sea Hole” because the North Sea forms one of the most daunting and awe-inspiring water hazards you’re likely to see. Even though many tours groups overlook it due to its location far to the north, we’re sure you’ll agree that it’s one of the hidden gems among Scottish Highland golf courses. As you leave the town of Brora, check out Dunrobin Castle, a beautiful castle overlooking the Moray Firth that could have come straight from a Disney film!

Our afternoon journey south (the longest transition on this tour…a mere 75 minutes) will take us to a quintessential Scottish country house, The Coal House Hotel where owners will bathe you in Scottish hospitality.

One of the reasons we love to include the Coul House Hotel in this tour is its country setting provides a unique way to experience life in the Highlands. Featuring stunning 18th century architecture and some of the most beautiful gardens in the area, Coul House is a spectacular place to rest up and get your bearings. The hotel is especially well situated for those wishing to take a day’s break from golf and partake in one of Scotland’s many other outdoor activities. For the fishing enthusiasts, fly fishing in one of the many Scottish rivers is something you’ll never forget. For the hikers, the Munro peaks are waiting to be challenged! Of course, if all you feel like doing is soaking in the luxurious accommodations, no one would blame you.

Another reason we love the Coul House Hotel is for the food! To conclude your Scottish country experience, we’ve arranged for local chef Garry Kenley to prepare one of his culinary feasts in a private dining setting where you will sample the best in traditional Scottish cuisine featuring locally sourced ingredients. Everything on the menu is made entirely from scratch, all the way down to the ice cream for dessert. But you’ll definitely want to save room for Chef Garry’s pastries, including scones, shortbread, and bridies.

First off, Fortrose & Rosemarkie Golf Club, a James Braid hidden gem that’s gaining more and more acclaim, with its ranking in the Top 50 Golf Courses in Scotland course. The club itself is situated on the picturesque Chanonry Peninsula in the Black Isle, a truly unique location that adds to the golfing experience. With its rolling dunes and various natural hazards, golfers of all skill levels will find something to challenge them. Even though the course itself is less than 6,000 yards long, it packs a lot of interesting surprises into that relatively short span. Deceptive greens and challenging bunker placements will keep you guessing and put your skills to the test. It’s the 15th oldest course in the world, offering you exceptional views of the Moray Firth and its ancient lighthouses. It’s northern Scotland golf at its finest.

After golf, you will head over to the 5-Star Ness Walk Hotel, your luxurious accommodations for the next four nights. Nestled on the leafy banks of the River Ness, Ness Walk allows you to experience a secluded atmosphere in the heart of the vibrant city center. A couple of very busy days are ahead so take advantage of your free time today to explore this historic city. Inverness is famed for its food and drink and over the next four days, you’ll have a chance to sample some of the best. The very popular Rocpool might be a great choice for this evening.

Enjoy an early breakfast as 36 holes of golf await. In the morning you’ll tackle the “modern” Cabot Highlands (previously known as Castle Stuart which has quickly become recognized as one of the best links courses in Scotland and ranks 60th on Golf Digest’s list of best courses in the world. Often referred to as “the Pebble Beach of Europe,” Cabot Highlands offers postcard-perfect views at every turn. You’ll tee off on a dramatic clifftop with the North Sea by your side. The fairways wind past dunes and crumbling castles, and you’ll be walking in the footsteps of some of the game’s greats. After lunch in its art-deco-inspired clubhouse, you’ll head across town over to a course touched by two of the legends, Old Tom Morris and James Braid. Nairn Golf Club’s Championship Course is an amazing seaside course with views of the Moray Firth from almost every hole. You’ll be called upon to use every type of shot imaginable to conquer this course, presenting you with a unique experience you’ll remember forever.

Back to the Ness Walk Hotel for a quick rest before heading out on the town. After 36 holes of golf, perhaps the Castle Tavern might hit the spot with its delicious comfort food and an ever-changing collection of local ales.

Today you have the early morning to yourself before we head inland to play an afternoon round at another Braid hidden gem, Boat of Garten. “The Boat” is set alongside the River Spey in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park. Here you will navigate through this Braid design featuring 18 completely individual holes, cleverly and sensitively shaped fairways lined by birch trees, heather and broom. Its unique design makes it a unique treat for golfers of all skill levels. Whether you’re an experienced pro or just someone who enjoys the game, you’ll find a lot to love here. This inland course is a great change of pace from the traditional links courses.

You have a couple of options for dinner. One option is to head back into Inverness in the evening to try another of their dining options. However, we’d recommend meandering over to the charming village of Aviemore very close to “The Boat” and dining with the locals in the rustic The Old Bridge Inn. This former game-keeper’s cottage sits right on the banks of the River Spey. Known for its gourmet kitchen but down-to-earth atmosphere, The Old Bridge Inn is a friendly, welcoming place for anyone looking for a good time among good people. If you’re lucky, you may even catch some of their very popular live music acts!

As twilight approaches, your culinary adventures continue. Inverness beckons with yet another of its wonderful dining options. However, we might recommend that tonight, you venture into the heart of Aviemore, a charming village nestled beside “The Boat.” The warm glow of The Old Bridge Inn invites you in, where locals gather amidst rustic charm and crackling fires. With a bit of luck, you might get to experience their very popular live music performances.

The Old Course, designed by the legendary Old Tom Morris and Henry Cotton, is a classic links experience, and the signature hole #18 and is considered one of the finest finishing holes in golf. It’s no wonder so many golfers make it a point to stop here on the road between Inverness and Aberdeen. It’s a spectacular experience and perhaps the best way to cap off your Scottish Highlands golf excursion.

As the sun sets on your unforgettable experience golfing in the Highlands of Scotland, you’ll gather for a private dinner in The Ness Walk’s Torrish Restaurant, a perfect opportunity to reminisce about the memories of the past nine days and begin plotting your next Scottish golfing adventure!
