ROYAL DORNOCH
Royal Dornoch Golf Club
Ceud mile failte! That's Gaelic for "A Hundred Thousand Welcomes".
Formed in 1877, Dornoch has now been a Royal club for over 100 years! A Royal title means exceptional standards and we always aim to exceed the expectations of our frequent visitors and loyal members. However, we aim to do this in a relaxed, informal environment, with an emphasis on traditional highland hospitality.
Records show that the incredible natural landscape that defines golf in Dornoch has hosted golfers since 1616 and we are proud that the tradition has continued into the 21st century.
The responsibility for actually designing our Championship course fell to the legendary Old Tom Morris who used the unique links-land features to create a magical golfing experience – one that prompted Tom Watson, five times Open Champion, to say ‘it’s the most fun I’ve ever had on a golf course’!
Over the years the Championship course has been tweaked and enhanced by greats such as John Sutherland and our own ex-professional and greenkeeper, Donald Ross. Open Champion, George Duncan added new holes after the war ensuring that the course has remained a challenge in the face of ever improving equipment and continues to be regularly ranked within the top 15 best courses in the world.
And it’s not just the Championship course that benefits from the challenges that links-land throws up. The recent addition of five new holes on the Struie have transformed this course into one that still maintains its role as an enjoyable and entertaining course for the whole family, but one that tests even the lower handicap player.
Royal Dornoch has a modern clubhouse and everyone is welcome to enjoy the facilities. We have a generously stocked bar and a restaurant serving anything from hot filled rolls to a full dinner menu. And for those who don’t golf, Dornoch’s superb ‘blue flag’ beaches and historic old town are just a short walk away.
Royal Dornoch is only 45 miles from the bustling city of Inverness, but is a true haven of peace, tranquillity and, of course, world class golf. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
